We couldn’t pass up the chance to see the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum. It showcases the maritime history of the Champlain Valley, including its 300 historical shipwrecks. The museum even offers scuba divers a chance to witness underwater archeology at some of the shipwreck sites.

Lake Champlain’s history includes many territorial and political skirmishes among the native population, French, English and American soldiers. The museum features several historical vessels, including dugout canoes that probably date from at least four hundred years ago.
