Stop At: Lake Champlain, Lake Champlain
Our tour starts on the waterfront of beautiful Lake Champlain where we will look far back in time to this area before Europeans and the cultures and people that called this place home.
Duration: 5 minutes
Stop At: ECHO, Leahy Center for Lake Champlain, 1 College Street, Burlington, VT 05401-5215
In part because of the incredible natural surroundings, Vermonters have always been deeply passionate about the environment. From the forests of old, to the forests of new, we'll explore just how this place protects its land.
Duration: 5 minutes
Stop At: Follett House, 69 College St, Burlington, VT 05401, USA

Duration: 5 minutes
Stop At: 95 College St, Burlington, VT 05401, USA
This street is so named for a one of the powerhouses of Burlington - the University of Vermont! Its history is intertwined with this town and we'll explore that in more detail while learning about some of the more unique inventions from Burlington's history.

Stop At: City Hall Park, 149 College Street, Burlington, VT 05401
Urban renewal is a concept most urban dwellers engage with daily - Burlington pioneered it with their commons - a music-filled gathering point for residents and visitors alike. Learn how this city established a path others followed decades later to make the new American city.
Duration: 5 minutes
Stop At: Flynn Center for the Performing Arts, 153 Main St, Burlington, VT 05401-8402
We love a good show - as the largest theater between Albany and Boston, the Flynn has it all - musicals, rock bands, comedy tours. Some of those visitors have been quite famous and gotten up to some crazy antics while here, we'll tell you more when you get here..
Duration: 5 minutes
Stop At: Courthouse Plaza, 199 Main St, Burlington, VT 05401, USA
Most people think its odd that we include a courthouse on a daytime tour - but we think a good ghost story can be scary during the day too - take a stop to learn about some secrets of old-time Burlington.

Free revolving galleries with some amazing local artists? Check. What else is there to say?

Duration: 10 minutes
Stop At: First Unitarian Universalist Society of Burlington, 152 Pearl St, Burlington, VT 05401, USA

The tour guidance and historical content were entirely written. We were able to take our time at each stop to relax and read the material. We were able to set our own pace.
We have never been to Vermont and love to learn the history of cities we visit and walk around to get a more intimate feel of the place. This tour was perfect for that! We learned about the history of Burlington, saw some of the sites, and got some walking in!
