What We Are About

Some of our favorite things...

The State Curator's office and Friends of the Vermont State House began restoring the State House to its nineteenth century style in the 1980s. It has  been constantly evolving and contains many treasures. The State House is open to all and we encourage you to take a guided tour to see and hear about the important artifacts that make up Vermont's history as a state.
