Set right on the shore of Lake Champlain, the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum is dedicated to preserving and promoting the lake's fascinating history and culture. The museum has a strong focus on archaeology, and the highlight of its collection is its fleet of replica ships, which introduce visitors to this part of history in a fascinating, tangible way. However, the museum also boasts a collection of more than 15,000 historic artifacts and images, many of which are displayed in more than a dozen museum buildings. The museum is open between May and the middle of October.
