This is a fun little place right on the water by the lake that teaches you and shows you all about the wildlife and fisheries calling the local area home. It's also located right near some wonderful lakefront restaurants and the Spirit of the Ethan Allen boat tours.

Walk down the famous cobble stone walking street. Enjoy the shops, the food, the famous Ben & Jerry's and much much more!
