  Great little historical spot that seems to be run entirely by volunteers. I'm sure the tours offered vary in quality, but our guide was terrific and enthusiastic. Plus Ethan Allen is a fascinating, complex subject when you learn about him. A great little 1-2 hour investment of time!

  This is an excellent way to discover the history of the area and the one man who made it all happen-Ethan Allen. Unfortunately, it a season site and is closed after October.

  We stopped in at the museum not knowing much about Ethan Allen and left with some interesting information. The property and gardens are beautiful and the home is well maintained. Our guide gave us a short history of Ethan Allen and Vermont and also some fun facts about life in the 1700s. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to learn more about local history.

  Visited on an icy December day as part of the Burlington History Tour, a wonderful way to experience the city. As the museum is not open at this time of year, we just walked out to the homestead.Gary, the tour operator gave us great background on the house and property as well as Ethan Allen & the Green Mountain boys. We would love to come back & see the museum when the weather is more cooperative.

  We visited the Homestead on a drizzly day and were the only visitors. The exhibits in the visitor center were informative, and we enjoyed viewing the Homestead, but it was really strolling the grounds we enjoyed most (even in the rain), which one can do pretty much anywhere in Vermont. I would say allow an hour to 90 minute tops (unless there's a special event going on) to see pretty much all there is to see.

  Thank you for the response about our guide, she is very dedicated to our site! As far as our interpretation video is concerned, we are in the midst of raising money for a brand new one that will incorporate new technology and new research. We hope you will come back and see us again when it is complete!

  While visiting Burlington and Lake Champlain area recently my family and I took a tour of the Ethan Allen homestead. The $8/person tour was a little pricy for a very cheesy 15 minute video describing the history of Vermont and Ethan Allen. The video was actually more of a slideshow as it did not have live characters but rather people dressed in period clothing.The tour of the original house is interesting and the tour guide provided ample information about the house and some of the artifacts inside the house. The surrounding grounds are very beautiful and picturesque. We enjoyed the visit but I didn't feel the $8/person admission was a very good value.

  Toured Ethan Allen Homestead last week with my husband. We really enjoyed our tour. Our guide was very informative and we learned a lot about Ethan Allen.

  This is a cool historic place, forgotten and discovered a couple of decades ago to be the most probable farmstead of one of the founding fathers of the state of Vermont. Restored homestead, guided tours, events, walking trails, etc.
