The best way to "meet" Vermont is to get off its Interstate Highways and onto our secondary roads. These are the roads that take you to the towns and villages settled when America was young.  It was in these towns and along these routes that the freedom fighters planned and marched to fight the British in the Revolutionary War.

These residents realize that their area is rich in history, culture, scenic and recreational opportunities. They are proud of their heritage and the place they call home and want to tell their story to you, their guest.
