Small but interesting

An interesting historical landmark. As a tourist destination, you could definitely do worse if you're interested in the colonial history of New England. The facility is nice, the staff is helpful, and there is an informative multimedia presentation at the end, as well as a gift shop area which sells neat little trinkets and books on Ethan Allen and the 1700's era. The only downside is that, while the house is interesting - Ethan Allen didn't really live in it for too long a time. Maybe two years at most. And most of the interior is just reproduction items and not anything Ethan Allen actually owned. Still, the grounds are beautiful, and there is lots of information available at the location to make the trip worth it.

My boyfriend had made plans for us to tour the Ethan Allen Homestead during our stay in Burlington. I went in with little to no expectation and left pleasantly surprised. It turned out being my favorite tour we did. Keith, our tour guide, made the trip and experience worth it. He brought the history of Ethan Allen and the Green Mountain Boys to life and his enthusiasm was contagious. Much appreciated. Highly recommend!

Rachel Alberico

We unfortunately came when much of the walking trails were flooded, but still enjoyed our time and learned a little more about Vermont's past. Next time I'm sure we'll get a little more out of the trails here.

We arrived after it was closed for the season however the director was on the premises and gave us a tour anyway. I learned more about American history during our visit than in any class I ever took.

I only used a small section for a quick dirt trail jog by the museum. Nice flat ground views. Looks great for bicycles with lots of paved trails too

Robert Weir

You can see how people lived in the 1600 and 1700's.

Shirley Drake

Excellent docent that was able to share stories of Ethan Allen that showed the eccentricities of the man.

Heather Whelan

This historic site offers a view into the day to day life of revolutionary war leader and hero Eathan Allen. One can learn about his war time experiences and the making of our nation's 14th state. I found that walking the grounds, neatly maintained and thoughtfully restored, brought me closer to a figure of whom I had only known through reading. Highly recommended for Revolutionary War history enthusiasts. The site can be rented for moderate sized events.

Small, volunteer run homestead and interesting film about Vermont history and Ethan Allen. Tour of house was low key with a knowledgeable docent. Rainy day so weren't able to explore grounds but seemed lovely. Learned a lot here.

Tina Reynolds

It's very informative!

Miranda Pace

Chris Bailey

Lovely park right outside downtown Burlington. Guess are knowledgeable, no crowds to soak of. Grounds are extensive, trails bisect the park so you can walk to the river or other points of interest.

Laura Armell

Christina Smith

Excellent Historical site. Kids loved it

Bluekimchi Andrea

It is a pretty basic museum about Ethan Allen. They bring in special topic presentations that are usually interesting. It's worth at least one visit. The photo here was an Abenaki encampment and Seeds of Renewal presentation that my husband had started years ago with the Intervale in Burlington.

Jim Kuhn

Christopher Coleman

Great area with some basic, but nice, walking trails that follow the river bed. There's a community garden, large feilds, and of course the homestead. Dogs are welcome on leash. There is no charge to wonder the grounds.

10$ for a tour of an old rustic country house and some commentary about flax cultivation. Not worth the money in my opinion. I learned a little about the history of Vermont, including the short existence of it's independent republic, and the capture of Fort Tyconderoga..

I wish I would have discovered the excellent programming that occurs at Ethan Allen Homestead before I retired last year. However, having said that, I sure am glad that, quite by accident, I read about a lecture occurring there on a Sunday afternoon in my local newspaper, the Colchester Sun. Recently, Ethan Allen Homestead hosted Christopher Wren, a former New York times editor and journalist, who talked about his book on Ethan Allen and the Green Mountain Boys. Not long after that a series started describing the history of the Abenaki people in the region; it continues, one day a month, for four months. Yesterday, we listened as a professor from the University of Vermont talked about his books on the travails of slaves taken to the Maritime provinces by the Loyalists who fled our country immediately after the revolutionary war. Go to their website and you can find out how to get on their mailing list and you'll receive email notifications about what the next lectures are going to be about and you can also look at their calendar of events. Sadly, I have to admit I've never actually toured the homestead. I've only gone into the lecture hall in the store. This summer when the homestead is open again to the public I'll be sure to tour the homestead itself.

Lee Stewart

Tours of the house are guided. Volunteers speak about the house and some of the experiences living at the time. The house needs a lot of restoration work. Can't touch anything! The museum on- site is very nice and informative. Plan on spending twice as much in museum versus the house itself.

Erin Zemba

This was a fun activity. It would be great for a family or even an independent activity. We enjoyed learning about the history of Ethan Allen and the Green Mountain Boys. Our tour guide, Keith, was incredibly knowledgeable. The grounds were absolutely beautiful and picturesquein summer, as they would be any time of year. Highly recommended! We spent a little over an hour there and it is very close to everything in Burlington.

Thomas Ohalloran

Great recreation

Madeline Bell

Leah Rosenthal

The Homestead is beautiful, the historic areas well maintained and the history of the Homestead and its sites are clearly explained by the docents. You may also catch some of the living historians (reenactors) dressed in period garb demonstrating their skills. Last but not least, every single person met was knowledgeable, welcoming and friendly.

A treasure for the rebels at heart

Has a beautiful walk to the tower with amazing view at the top

Todd Clark

Interesting but not for kids. It's a tour with long explanations of every thing. Tour guide was clearly irritated that my kids were there.

Family learned a lot here.

I had some time to kill between when I arrived and the rest of my party arrived at the Burlington, VT airport. I looked for something local to do. The Ethan Allen Homestead was only 20 minutes from the airport. This tour was one of the best tours that I had been on in a while. My tour guide - Bob - sat me down inside the theater/remake of a tavern in the visitor center. He gave me about 25 minutes worth of history on Ethan Allen. It was really detailed. I'm a history major and I was impressed. Then he took me over to the Ethan Allen Homestead and proceeded to go through each of the rooms and describe the items found there and how they were used during Allen's time. The building and the grounds were in impeccable shape. Bob was very knowledgeable and answered questions thoroughly. A great family outing. Nice gift shop and artifacts to view.

Ok

For all lovers of the old times!

Zachary Stevens

Technically not off leash but still great for dogs

Joy Collins

Yoann Lussier

Clearly well preserved and in the essence that Allen himself would have liked. To visit you'll have to pay under ten dollars but they are well spent. Entering this residence, you'll get a glimpse of late 18th century Vermont and if you engage in a conversation with the museum personel, you will inquire on their vast knowledge of Allen's life and Vermont's past.

Lance Valentine

Nice museum. Cool to see the original house. Take the Peninsula Trail hike when u r here.
