Vermont Historical Society

“Unique and historic. Learn how granite is quarried and fabricated into memorials, sculptures. Visitor center has movies and information. Bus tour of quarry. Opportunity to view production floor. ”

“Located in Barre, Vermont, the “Granite Capital of the World,” Hope Cemetery serves not only as a place to remember those who work outside the craft and are buried there, but also as a tribute to the stone cutters and artisans interred amongst the sculptures they created while they lived.”

“This European-style bakery is the neighbor of our chocolate factory, Nutty Steph's. It's a 40 minutes ride from the farmhouse, but worth the trip, especially for Bacon Thursday every week from 6pm-12”

“Wonderful presentation of Vermont history. Nice gift shop. This is not a historical library for genealogical purposes. That is located about 10 miles away in Barre.”

“Robert Somaini began collecting as a child. You can find him amidst a horde of antiques from April 30th to October 30th. As an added bonus, the Vermont Flannel Company is located right across the street. I got a bunch of stuff from Robert, including my rocking chair. He's a really nice guy and loves to chat. I look forward to seeing him again. ”
