The ***Vermont*** is a name given to a 1903 [Winton](/source/Winton_Motor_Carriage_Company) that became the first [automobile](/source/Automobile) to cross the [United States](/source/United_States). It traveled from [San Francisco, California](/source/San_Francisco,_California) to [Manhattan, New York](/source/Manhattan,_New_York). The crew was owner [Horatio Nelson Jackson](/source/Horatio_Nelson_Jackson), mechanic [Sewall K. Crocker](/source/Sewall_K._Crocker) and their dog [Bud](/source/Bud_(dog)).[1]

The car is in the permanent collection of the [Smithsonian Institution](/source/Smithsonian_Institution)'s [National Museum of American History](/source/National_Museum_of_American_History) after Jackson himself donated the vehicle to the museum.[2]
