Located at strategic Chimney Point where Native people camped as they hunted and fished up and down lake Champlain, the 18th century tavern now houses an interpretive exhibit called "People of the New Dawn and the People of New France." The site is the state of Vermont's museum of Native American culture. It is one of the few museums that actually consulted with Native Americans about its collections.
