Golf in Vergennes

Vergennes is the smallest city in Vermont and, by some historical accounts, the third smallest in the United States, a compact agricultural market town on the Otter Creek waterfall that served as a significant manufacturing site in the early republic. The city's industrial heritage (arms manufacturing for the War of 1812 fleet on Lake Champlain) is preserved at the Bixby Memorial Library. Basin Harbor's renowned resort operation on the lake shore a few miles west has sustained Vergennes's identity as a destination for visitors seeking the Champlain Valley's pastoral character and lake access. The Otter Creek's short waterfall in the city center creates a natural focal point.
