The small state of Vermont boasts a rich and
rewarding historical heritage. Today, that history is well
preserved in an exceptional collection of state-owned historic
sites stretching the length of the state. Ranging from precontact
encampments, to pivotal Revolutionary War sites, to the
private homesteads of U.S. presidents, Vermont's historic
sites chronicle the development of a state, its people and
the nation around it.
