Bill Wilson House, Historic 19th-century recovery center in East Dorset, Vermont, United States.
The three-section wooden building features Greek Revival architecture elements with a single-story porch at the intersection of Village Street and Mad Tom Road.
Built in 1852, this former hotel became the birthplace of Alcoholics Anonymous co-founder Bill Wilson during a snowstorm on November 26, 1895.
The property maintains 14 guest rooms and hosts regular Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, recovery seminars, and educational programs focused on the 12-step recovery process.
Located at 378 Village Street, the nonprofit bed and breakfast provides accommodations, meeting spaces, and a conference room for visitors seeking recovery support.
The ground floor room behind the original bar marks the exact location where Bill Wilson entered the world during winter weather conditions.
