DIRECTOR’S LET TER
2009 was a very special year in
Lake Champlain history and in the
history of the museum. It was the
400th anniversary of Samuel de
Champlain’s brief, profound and only
visit to the lake that bears his name.
This Quadricentennial anniversary
presented the museum with a unique
opportunity to reflect on the 11,000
years of human culture which took place before Champlain’s
arrival and the 400 years of history that flowed from it. The
Lake Champlain Maritime Museum’s goal was to design a
dynamic and engaging series of public programs to explore
the region’s rich record of history and archaeology. I am
pleased to report that 2009 exceeded all our expectations.
Great museum - what a change in 25 years! -- Granville, NY
Amazing and beautiful - a great resource! - Salt Lake City, UT
As we view the road ahead I am filled with cautious optimism.
We have just learned that we will be the recipient of a grant
to install new docks at North Harbor that will permit boaters
to visit the museum. We have just broken ground for the
Hazelett Family Small Watercraft Center, a project more
than a decade in the making. This new facility will provide a
secure place for a significant portion of our small watercraft
and a new exhibition of regional iceboating. Our Maritime
Research Institute (MRI) continues to document and
manage our region’s submerged cultural resources and our
Education programs continue to engage the next generation
in the stories and lessons of Lake Champlain.
Our 2009 theme was Discover 1609 and we produced
exhibits for the Burlington Airport, Main Street Landing,
and the Champlain Valley Fair in addition to our home
campus at Basin Harbor. A tour by Lois McClure to 20
communities became the centerpiece of our Discover 1609
outreach program. This was enhanced by a series of special
publications, lectures, concerts and mini exhibits. Our new
film Operation Spitfire was completed and shown on regional
Vermont and New York PBS stations, and a speciallydesigned new curriculum Navigating the Champlain Valley
was made available to teachers and students.
In conclusion, we have had a great Quadricentennial season.
And we have a fantastic menu of programs, projects,
fieldwork and outreach activities on the drawing board for
next year. Your continuing support and patronage is the
reason we can offer such a robust, diverse and multi-faceted
program and outlook.
Sincerely,
Erick Tichonuk

2009 will also be remembered as a special time because of
the challenged economy. I am very pleased to report that with
your continued support the museum has been able to weather
the storm without layoffs and while producing perhaps the
most intricate program in our 25-year history. Our dedicated
staff rose to the occasion and has worked tirelessly to take
advantage of the Champlain-Hudson Quadricentennial and
to move forward our mission “to preserve and share the rich
history and archaeology of the region.”
Many thanks to our 2009 Season Sponsors!

Neighborhood Quadricentennial Exhibits
Rowers met every Thursday
night during the summer
months. An enthusiastic
group of new and returning
participants began rowing
on Otter Creek in early May
and Lake Champlain in June.
“We were fortunate to observe
a Blue Heron rookery and
many Osprey,” reports Karen
Gallott. The rowers enjoyed
beautiful weather and gorgeous sunsets every week
through October. Destinations included Otter Creek,
Button Bay, Fields Bay, Fort Cassin Point, south to Hunter
Bay and as far north as Snake Den and Ore Bed Harbors.
