'Chimney Point, Vermont - This strategic point on Lake Champlain was occupied by Native Americans for thousands of years. In 1690 Jacobus deWarm build a small stone fort here. The French built a wooden stockage in 1731, erecting Fort St. Frederic across the lake in 1734. After teh 1759 French retreat to Canada, the houses were burned, leaving only the chimneys and the name--Chimey Point. The British build a military road in 1759 to connect Fort No. 4 (Charletown, NH) to their new fort at Crown Point, NY; the road ended two miles to the south. They also build earthworks at Chimney Point, as did American Revolutionary forces in 1776. The tavern, built in the 1780s, was visited in 1791 by Thomas Jefferson and james Madison. In the early 1900s it was a summer resort.'

Classic Vermont house architecture
On the right. This home was randomly selected (mainly by being next to the road and easy to photograph) to show what many homes throughout the state look like. This is a common Federal Style design with standing seam metal roof, enclosed porch, attached garage, and requisite flag.

Echo Lake Inn & Inn at Waters Edge
Echo Lake Inn, a very old and classic Victorian built for summer visitors more than 100 years ago, is on the west side (see photo), and the Inn at Waters Edge is on the east side. Both are well known, excellent quality resorts. Also, there is a very nice lake front state park nearby. You can find it by turning east, going past the Inn at Waters Edge, continuing a few minutes and then turning left onto Scout Camp Road. Follow it a couple of minutes to the Plymouth State Park on the left. There are picnic tables, boats and canoes, a beach, etc. A day pass is $2.50 per person, a great bargain.
