Montpelier VT – Interesting Houses
No surprise that not only are the buildings in downtown Montpelier interesting, but the houses are too. Sometimes, it’s just the paint on the house that makes it interesting. I just love the patriotic flags, as well as the abundance of black-eyed susan flowers of this Victorian. Most of the houses I saw were Victorian, […]
Montpelier VT – Pretty Flowers
May 6, 2026
There were so many pretty and colorful flowers along my walks. Summers in Vermont must be very conducive to growing them. I have a feeling that the bugs, like Japanese beetles and the like, don’t make it this far North. Hah, if we tried to grow any of these flowers in Massachusetts, the bugs would […]
Montpelier VT – Winooski River Scene
April 29, 2026
Montpelier, like a lot of major cities, is located along a river. The Winooski River, deriving its name from the Abenaki word for “where the wild onion grows,” is a vital 90-mile waterway in Vermont, flowing from the Cabot area to Lake Champlain. It shaped the region’s history by powering early sawmills and textile industries, most notably through Ira Allen’s […]
Montpelier VT – Live Animal Scenes
April 22, 2026
After a brief respite to post some pretty Easter pictures, I’m back to writing about my favorite state, Vermont. Yes, Montpelier, Vermont is the state capital, but even so, I saw some interesting live animals on my walks around the local neighborhoods. Yes, I know deer are everywhere, even in the built-up suburb where I […]

Not only were there lots of interesting animal sculptures in downtown Montpelier, but there were also lots of interesting sights. Here’s a view of the downtown. I just love all the old brick buildings. And speaking of old, here is a building sign that has been around since 1890! Montpelier is quirky and I love […]
Montpelier VT – Downtown Animal Scenes
March 25, 2026
I just love walking around new cities; there is always something unique and interesting to see. Montpelier did not disappoint. Given that Vermont is mostly rural, it was no surprise that there were a lot of fun animal sculptures and even live animals. The pink polka dotted pig and the pink pig were certainly eye […]
Montpelier VT – Art Scene
March 18, 2026
It is no surprise that Montpelier Vermont has a very active art scene. It is a quirky place and art fits right in. This colorful mural was a ray of brightness, right next to some railroad tracks. Usually, the area around rail road tracks is not very pretty. I wonder what the artist was thinking […]
Montpelier VT – Downtown Buildings
March 11, 2026
I love visiting old cities with lots of history and Montpelier Vermont is no exception. Originally chartered on August 14, 1781, the Town of Montpelier was granted municipal powers by the “Governor, Council and General Assembly of the Freemen of the State of Vermont.” Montpelier became the capital of Vermont in 1805, selected after years […]

Comments Off on Montpelier VT – Smallest State Capital
So Mr. Ken and I ventured away from our nature Vermont vacations, and stayed in Montpelier Vermont last summer. As usual, we had a blast, in spite of it being in the 90’s most days. Now, Montpelier is more Northern Vermont, so you would think it would be cooler, but they were having a heat […]
Vermont – Castles in the air
December 17, 2025
Who would have thought there was a castle in Vermont? I picture castles in Europe in places like Italy and France, but yes, there is a real castle in Vermont. We were fortunate to visit one day in the summer. Wilson Castle’s story begins with its construction in 1885 by Dr. John Johnson and his […]
