Lake Champlain Maritime Museum

From shipwrecks to heroic naval battles waged on majestic Lake Champlain, this destination west of downtown Vergennes offers visitors a glimpse at the Lake Champlain basin’s long history and diverse culture. Check out a replica of the Revolutionary War gunboat Philadelphia, and marvel at the towering 1902 Storm King, a yacht that would zip across the lake’s frozen surface. You don’t have to own a boat to appreciate the beauty and fascinating history of Vermont’s most iconic natural landmark.
