Dedicated to the significant history of our beautiful Village on Lake Champlain,  the Society formed in October of 2000, was the dream of Sandy Kelley, who served as its first president. The State Education Department issued our charter in 2001.

The Mission Statement of the Rouses Point-Champlain Historical Society is to promote knowledge of the Northern Tier, its customs and its people through historically and culturally diverse programs, performances and lectures designed to broaden understanding of the Lake Champlain corridor's significance in  the growth of our nation. 

Through education, it is our hope to encourage greater knowledge of the history of the Northern Tier. It is our intent to gather, preserve, and display books, papers, maps, photographs, clothing, and any other memorabilia relating to the history of our area. We invite all to join us in the pursuit of accurately chronicling our past, preserving our heritage for those who follow us, and create a center for education and  entertainment.
