The Wilson House: Located in Rochester, VT — Not East Dorset

The Wilson House, historic birthplace of Bill Wilson (co-founder of Alcoholics Anonymous), is located at:

10 East Main Street, Rochester, Vermont 05767, USA.

Correction

It is not in East Dorset. East Dorset (also in Vermont) is about 30 miles southwest of Rochester. The confusion may stem from Wilson's later connections or regional tourism grouping.

Visiting

  • Operated as a museum and recovery retreat by the non-profit Wilson House Inc.
  • Open seasonally; check wilsonhousevt.org for hours, tours, and events.
  • Listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
