About Vermont

Montpelier is the capital of Vermont and is the only state capital in the United States without a McDonald's. Vermont was admitted to the Union on March 4, 1791, as the 14th state. The city became the capital in 1805 and has remained the seat of state government, anchored by the golden-domed Vermont State House. Vermont is known for the Green Mountains, which give the state its name and draw hikers and skiers throughout the year. The region is also famous for maple syrup production and artisan crafts, traditions that remain central to the local economy. Montpelier's small-town atmosphere, historic downtown, and riverside setting give it a strong sense of community, and visitors come to enjoy its farmers markets, galleries, and the surrounding countryside.
