Capitol Region Maple Open House Weekend Tour
The Capital Region
The nation’s smallest capital city, Montpelier, anchors a region where family farms and wooded uplands rub shoulders with urban environments built to human scale. The towns, villages, and two busy cities that flank the Winooski River Valley have long been hubs of industry and government. The citizen legislature that meets in Montpelier each year is Vermont’s bedrock of democracy, while less than 10 miles away, bedrock itself is the treasure of Barre, the “Granite Capital of the World.” And the little town of Cabot lends its name to cheese enjoyed across the nation and beyond.
