Burlington, VT
Burlington is a city in northwestern Vermont, near the Canadian border on the eastern coast of Lake Champlain. Shops and eateries fill the pedestrianized Church Street Marketplace in downtown. The Ethan Allen Homestead Museum, located north of downtown, is the former residence of the Revolutionary War hero. In a series of ancient buildings, the huge Shelburne Museum showcases American folk and decorative art.
Burlington, a charming Vermont town on the shores of Lake Champlain, lives on the unusual. Church Street's public square is an outdoor shopping promenade surrounded by stores, restaurants, and street entertainers. Meanwhile, the Shelburne Museum has a completely restored railroad station as well as the steamer Ticonderoga, while the city's breweries provide live events and interactive tours. Even the most well-known Burlington residents, such as Ethan Allen (of the Green Mountain Boys, not the furniture business), Ben Cohen, and Jerry Greenfield (yes, that Ben and Jerry, established and based in nearby Waterbury), march to the beat of their own drum. So, pack your Birkenstocks, book the bed-and-breakfast, and get ready to live and let live in Burlington.
