The Ethan Allen Homestead is located in a huge and fertile tract of land on the Winooski. In the center is the original frontier house in which lived Ethan and Fanny Allen, six children, and farm hands.

For more than ten years, the museum has sponsored hands-on educational programs highlighting the peoples who have lived at this site: Abenakis, Colonial French, and frontier Vermonters. Each year, more than a hundred schools send students to participate in our well-tested learning activities.

Planning Your Museum Experience

Book early and provide two or more possible dates. Field Trips above 40 students require extra time at the Homestead and occasionally require extra cost.
Our "at-school" programs are not designed for combined classes (unless they are very small), but schools can contract for several performances or lessons in a single day.
