The Home of Vermont's Founder
A short drive from downtown Burlington, the Homestead offers hands-on history, spectacular scenery, and riverside picnic areas and walks. The Homestead provides a genuine slice of 18th century life, and an intimate look at Vermont's most colorful - and controversial founder.
Visit the Ethan Allen Homestead Museum, the historic home of Vermont's founder Ethan Allen and his wife, Fanny, built in 1787.
“Ethan & the Boys @ Fort Crown Point” tells the tale of the Green Mountain Boys and their capture of the New York Forts Ticonderoga and Crown Point. The cannon “liberated” at those forts were delivered to George Washington in Boston to end the British siege there.
The videos (in both English and Quebecois French) can be downloaded so that you can view them on an iPhone or iPod. See and hear our history as you tour throughout the region, and use Google Maps to navigate to our historic sites.
This is a partnership of The Ethan Allen Homestead and the Crown Point Historic Site in New York, with help from our friends at the McCord Museum in Montreal, Canada.
Enjoy this colorful tale of Ethan Allen and the Green Mountain Boys as they play by their own rules!
