"Northeast Kingdom" is a term used passionately throughout Vermont and beyond when referring to the corner of the state against the Canadian Border and the upper Connecticut River. The Northeast Kingdom received its nickname over 50 years ago in honor of its sheer splendor. The term suggests an enviable and sought-after quality of life and without a doubt, the state's most beautiful and undisturbed region. The Kingdom offers breath-taking scenery, outstanding lodging and dining, ecotourism and agritourism, Vermont made products, and recreational opportunities which have gained the Northeast Kingdom national and international recognition.
Occupying the northeast corner of Vermont, the "Northeast Kingdom" represents nearly one-fifth of Vermont's land mass and over 1/4 of it's water, with over 200 lakes and ponds. The area is densely forested, and rich in New England history. You'll find refreshing farm stands, inviting restaurants, charming inns, eclectic museums and antique shops.
An outdoor lover's paradise, the "Kingdom Trails" are rated as one of the top five mountain biking networks in the world. The Northeast Kingdom also has eight state parks, some of which have camping facilities. There are cabin rentals on all our major lakes including Seymour, Willoughby, Joe's Pond, Harvey's Lake, Memphremagog, Crystal and Island Pond, to name our larger lakes. It has been said that the area could be the country's largest theme park, the theme being nature.
Good ole' New England charm and hospitality await your arrival.

Vermont Events in February
StJ Art on the Street Winter NEK Starlight Exhibition
11/30/20 - 2/28/21
A celebration of the arts and artists who live in the Northeast Kingdom but are also celebrated internationally. Exhibits are all accessible to view from the street and now have QR codes on windows to link you directly with artists. This provides artists and audiences an opportunity to continue celebrating art together in a COVID-safe and responsible way.
We are delighted to be featuring eleven artists this season: Terry Ekasala, Tara Goreau, Megan Hack, Janet McKenzie, Ezra Ranz-Schleifer, Delia Robinson, and Sachiko Yoshida. The Exhibit also includes a Winter Landscape Group Show featuring Benjamin Barnes, Laura Heijn, Jeff MacQueen, and Anni Lorenzini. The Winter Exhibition will be showing until February 28; at that time our Spring Exhibition will be installed. Please consider purchasing art as one of the many ways we can keep this incredible vibrancy alive in St. Johnsbury! Contact information for artists is available at each of the windows.
