The state is primarily rural with is surrounded in an old time sense of community, constantly upholding their ideals of thrift and parsimony above commercialization.

Tourism is a major industry in Vermont. For travelers, Vermont remains a superb destination for country drives, mountain rambles, and overnights at country inns. Small cities in Vermont like Burlington, Brattleboro, St. Andrews, Brandon and St. Albans are filled with interesting restaurants, shops and inns. Places like Barre, Bennington, Lyndonville, Rutland, Middlebury and Bellows Falls are treasure troves of 19th and even 18th century architecture.

The Green Mountains are a hiker’s dream. The steep hills also host many of the state’s popular ski resorts, such as Okemo, Killington, Sugarbush, and Mount Snow.
