The small state of Vermont boasts a rich historical heritage. Ranging from precontact encampments, to pivotal Revolutionary War sites, to the private homesteads of U.S. Presidents, Vermont's State Historic Sites chronicle that heritage and bring it to you.

Our calendar of events includes hikes, music, lectures, workshops - something for everyone. This summer and fall, visit the Vermont State Historic Sites and see History where it Happened!
