If your junior high teacher taught you well, you know that Montpelier is the capital of Vermont. But what else do you know about this wonderful little town? It's the smallest state capital population-wise, and yes, it's the only state capital in the country without a McDonald's. Did you also know that it's home to a centuries-old maple sugaring farm? And just a few minutes away in neighboring Barre, you'll find one of the most famous quarries in the USA. With so much to see, do, and learn, the Montpelier area is magnificent with a "capital" M!
