Golf in Swanton

Swanton is a Franklin County community on the Missisquoi River and Missisquoi Bay, an arm of Lake Champlain. The town is home to a significant Abenaki tribal community and the Missisquoi National Wildlife Refuge, one of the most important bird migration corridors in the Lake Champlain basin. Swanton's marble bridge, the Lamson-Aldrich Mill complex, and the broad agricultural landscape of the Missisquoi delta reflect the town's layered history of industrial development and Abenaki cultural presence. The Canadian border lies just a few miles north, giving Swanton a border-community character shared with its Franklin County neighbors. The Abenaki tribal office in Swanton serves as a cultural and administrative center for the tribe, and the ongoing efforts to achieve federal recognition reflect the Abenaki people's persistence in maintaining their identity in their ancestral homeland.
