Montpelier

As the state’s capital city, Montpelier is a must for any visit to Vermont. In fact, it is one of the best places to visit in the northeast, USA. Located right on the banks of the Winooski River, this small but lively city is one of the best places to go in Vermont to learn about the political history of the Green Mountain state. Here you’ll have the opportunity to visit the Vermont State House, a gold-domed Greek Revival building that has been recognized as one of the oldest and best-preserved capitol buildings in the county.

The State House, which is free and open to the public for self-guided tours, also houses an art museum that features some of Vermont’s most important artwork. Montpelier is also known for its downtown center, which has a rich history. Here you can find several independently owned boutiques, restaurants, and bars, many of which offer locally made goods and souvenirs. In addition, there are several local art galleries, music venues, and a theater that you can check out. But any visit to Montpelier wouldn’t be complete without stopping by Morse Farm Maple Sugarworks, an 8th-generation family-owned maple syrup farm.
