It's time for us to GROW! |
| Since 2003, ECHO has been connecting visitors to the
visible and invisible details that make Lake Champlain
an immense treasure. During that time, more than a
million children and adults have gotten a glimpse of
huge fish from the depths of the Lake, dug for whale
fossils, and worked with superheroes to save energy.
They’ve discovered how glaciers gouged the earth to
create this valley, touched a sea star, recorded a
weather report with a meteorologist, and explored Native
American life-ways. And most importantly, they
investigated all the different ways we can keep the Lake
safe, clean, and thriving for generations to come.
After years of providing priceless moments of learning
and discovery, the energy and curiosity of our visitors
has grown larger than our space. It’s time for ECHO to
grow.
Contact Phelan Fretz, our Executive Director at 802.864.1848
ext. 126 or by email if you are interested in
learning more about our vision and how you can be part of making
it happen! |

programming space that represents a nearly 200% increase
in our current flexible exhibit space.

Voices for the Lake
Voices for the Lake uses social media tools to build
a virtual community of people with rich, personal
stories about Lake Champlain and its rivers and streams.
This community-generated archive of stories is also part
of an innovative exhibit at ECHO where visitors can
interact with existing stories and contribute their own. |

This exhibit was built in collaboration with
a variety of scholars and experts, featuring
Smithsonian Institution Archeologist and
Anthropologist Stephen Loring and Abenaki

multifaceted human-landscape connections that go
back thousands of years, from the Paleoindians
of the last Ice Age to the Abenaki and Mohawk of

Founding Capital Campaign
ECHO was built thanks to a capital campaign that
was 10 years in the making. Under the leadership of
Board Chair Sarah Muyskens and Capital Campaign
Co-Chairs George E. Little, Jr., and Daniel Feeney, the
organization raised $14.5 million and the current
building opened in 2003. |
