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.
