Hawley's Ferry House

The Hawley's Ferry House, located in Kingsland Bay State Park, Ferrisburgh, Vermont, is a historic structure built around 1790 and one of the few remaining 18th-century buildings in the area. This gable-roofed house, constructed from local stone, features thick walls and a central hall plan, with a distinctive three-story tower added in the early 1900s. Originally built by Gideon Hawley, one of the first settlers, it served as a ferry point across Lake Champlain until the 1830s and played a significant role during the War of 1812. The house later functioned as a farmhouse and was transformed into a girls summer camp in the 1920s. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978, making it a notable site for tourists and researchers interested in Vermont's history and architecture.
