Montpelier’s monuments: a blend of history and government

Montpelier, Vermont’s capital city, boasts a unique blend of interesting historical sites. The crown jewel is the Vermont State House, a gold-domed Greek Revival building completed in 1859. Tours unveil the building’s architectural beauty and its role in Vermont’s governance. 

History buffs can delve deeper at the Vermont History Museum, located next to the State House.  Interactive exhibits and murals work together to bring the state’s story to life, from Native American settlements to the Civil War. For a rare, unique glimpse into 19th-century life, explore the Victorian-era Kellogg-Hubbard Library, a free public library with stunning Italian Renaissance Revival architecture.
