Exhibits
There are more than a dozen exhibit buildings on our campus. The maritime history and nautical archaeology of the Champlain Valley can be experienced through hands-on interactive learning stations, video and audio displays, historical artifacts and images.
Collections
LCMM serves as a regional repository where collections that reflect the maritime heritage of the Champlain Valley are preserved, interpreted and shared. The museum’s rapidly growing permanent collection consists of some 15,000 objects, images and documents that powerfully communicate the history of Lake Champlain. Over half of the collection is shared directly with the public through the museum’s publications, exhibitions and educational materials. Other materials are retained for their importance to the museum’s work in research and documentation.
The majority of the museum’s objects, research resources, works of art, and images, have been given to LCMM, often after passing through several generations of local families, or as gifts from people and organizations who are eager to support the museum’s work. If you would like to donate or share an object, collection or historical image with LCMM, please contact Eloise Beil, Director of Collections and Exhibits at eloiseb@lcmm.org.
