"This is a tiny little museum but worth the time to visit. My children and I loved seeing the old artifacts and the home. Open hours are somewhat sparse but the trails surrounding are some of the best Burlington has to offer."

"I remember going here as a kid with school and this is a place I plan on bringing my kids to now that they are a bit older and will enjoy all this place has to offer.. a little slice of Vermont culture along with a great place to picnic and see different animals."
