vermont.com ...is Vermont!
If you're looking for a place to simply relax and enjoy the beauty of nature, your search is over because Vermont, the Green Mountain state, is the place you're looking for. There are a lot of fun things to do with the help of Mother Nature's resources. Enjoy favorite pastimes in the Summer such as hiking, biking, fishing, or paddling and of course playing a round of golf on smoothly groomed hillsides can be enjoyed throughout the state in the Spring, Summer, and Fall. Join other "leaf-peepers" to gaze in wonder at the brilliant colors during Fall Foliage season or go skiing or snowboarding on one of the many snow-covered mountains in the Winter.
Visitors to Vermont often receive a cozy, old-fashioned welcome at lodgings that can range from small Bed & Breakfasts to Country Inns to modern Resorts with spas and other luxuries. Historic sites feature the people and places of the American Revolution; fascinating museums as well as art and theater & music venues help offset the abundant outdoor and winter activities. Shopping in country stores, galleries, museum stores, or at sprawling outlet communities is welcomed and encouraged. At day’s start or day’s end, native refreshments include maple syrup, apples, cheese, and chocolate. If you need a little help finding something to do, checkout our Calendar of Events. The beauty of Vermont ranges from rustic to refined, and it all feels special to the Vermont way of life.
Vermont remains a superb destination for country drives, mountain rambles, and overnights at country inns. A good map opens the door to back-road adventures, and it's not hard to get a taste of Vermont's way of life. The numbers tell the story: Burlington, Vermont's largest city, counts around 39,000 year-round residents; Rutland sits at around 17,000; Montpelier, the state capital, about 8,000; Brattleboro and Bennington, perhaps 8,500 and 9,500; Stowe and Manchester have between 4,000 and 5,000 residents; Woodstock and Chester about 3,000. The state's total population is just a shade over 600,000, making it one of only a handful of states with more senators (2) than representatives (1) in Congress.

Tom Checchia spent an evening drinking aquavit with his friend, Carl, who worked at The Landgrove Inn - and still does, on occasion! Worried that the Inn, which was for sale, might be bought by someone he wouldn't like, Carl planted the idea in Tom's head that he should buy it.
