Review:
Visiting Ethan Allen Homestead will let you get close to the spirit of the most popular folk hero of Vermont. Ethan was a backwoodsman-turned-statesman, a flamboyant and unusually well read character for the time. He played an important role in the history of Vermont, which was then called the New Hampshire Grants. At the time, the territory served as the northern frontier of the restless New England colonies.
Visiting Ethan Allen’s homestead and looking at the artifacts from the time during which he lived in the house paints a vivid picture of the rough living, cramped quarters, and turbulent times typical of the country’s history. The Homestead frequently organizes special events such as the Harvest Festival and the Celebration of Family and A Tribute to Nature.
