We were amazed with the amount of maritime history for our great lake. LCMM does a great job showing how life was in the past with walk-thru exhibits, using current technology and professional exhibits to illustrate the history, and have it all laid-out for an inside/outside adventure in to the past. Both adults and kids were entertained and enriched (in my opinion, children above the age of 8 will get the most out of this museum). Not sure...more

The folks at LCMM are amazing: super pleasant to be around, fully committed to Lake Champlain, experts in experiential education, devoid of gimmicks, and rooted in reality.
