Vermont, known as the Green Mountain State, was the independent Republic of Vermont prior to joining the Union on March 4, 1791 as the 14th state – the first state to enter the Union after the original 13 colonies and as a counterweight to Kentucky.

Vermont, in the New England Division of the Northeast Region (US Census Bureau), is bordered on the north by the Canadian province of Quebec, to the west by New York, Massachusetts on the south and New Hampshire on the east. Vermont is the only New England state with no Atlantic Ocean coastline.



“Pretty small farm you have here,” said the tourist. “Why, out West I drive all morning to the edge of my ranch.”

“Had a car like that once myself,” countered the Yankee.

If the incident never happened, it's at least a gem of wry-and-dry Yankee wit. And if it did, Vermont is a likely locale. Far from the glow of Boston and the industrial bustle of the southern tier of New England states, far also from the tides of immigrants that gave seaboard towns a rich ethnic mix, Vermont retains the flavor of times long lost in areas closer to the mainstream. “Come home to Vermont,” ad campaigns have urged; thousands heed the call.

Many secure a toehold with an old farmstead or a modern A-frame to trek to on holidays – so many, in fact, that out-of-staters own more than half of Vermont's vacation homes. Others come to stay, hoping for happiness in the alchemy of kerosene lamps and iron stoves, herbs blooming by an old farmhouse at a dirt road's end, wooden looms, clay bowls, and well water to rinse wild berries and callused hands.

Bargains in produce, pottery, woodware, and other craftwork await the tourist at many a roadside sign. Look for them especially in the region of isolated dairy farms and deep woods along the Canadian border, where winding roads link tiny towns that can feel a frost chill almost any time of year. Road signs in English and French, some warning of snowmobile crossings, remind you that Quebec is only a border away. Stand on that border – the 45th parallel – and you're halfway between the Equator and the North Pole; cross it for a pleasant day trip and you'll think you're halfway to France.

The only New England state without a seacoast, Vermont offers instead her side of 107-mile-long Lake Champlain. A loop drive takes sightseers aboard a fleet of islands at the northern end, and ferries afford a scenic side trip to New York State on the western side. This big lake and its 400-odd kid brothers beckon to sailor, swimmer, angler, skater, even floatplane pilot. State parks dot some shores with campsites, and reserve some lakes for motorless boats.

Most tourists see only the state's summer face. To its few springtime visitors, Vermont is the perfume of maple sap boiling by a grove called a “sugar bush,” meadows gone to the gold of dandelions, streams boisterous with snowmelt, peaks greening from the bottom up in annual homage to French explorers who in 1609 first saw the rugged backbone that earned the name Verd-Mont – Green Mountain. To October crowds it is nippy air, crisp apples, and peaks turning to flame from the top down. Then comes snow and the skiers who jam resorts for some of the best winter sports in the East.

Hermit Thrush, the Vermont State Bird

Lines referring to the Hermit Thrush,
“When Lilacs Last in the Door-yard Bloom'd”
by Walt Whitman -

In the swamp, in secluded recesses,
A shy and hidden bird is warbling a song.
 
Solitary, the thrush,
The hermit, withdrawn to himself, avoiding the settlements,
Sings by himself a song.
 
Song of the bleeding throat!
Death’s outlet song of life—
(for well, dear brother, I know
If thou wast not gifted to sing, thou would’st surely die.)
