History
Lake Champlain Maritime Museum opened its first building, a historic stone schoolhouse, in 1985 with the mission to preserve and share the cultural and natural heritage of the Lake Champlain region by connecting its past, present and future. Today the museum connects with our community through education programs that serve thousands of local students each year, exhibits and historic boats, and research and collections.
