The Friends of the Vermont State House envision Vermont’s capitol as a welcoming, active, and educational resource for all. The building serves as the seat of state government where Vermonters can observe and participate in their democracy. It is a classroom in which the public explores and is challenged by our State’s rich history. It is a building that reflects Vermont’s diversity, ongoing civic discussion, and decisions. It signals to young people and new Vermonters that this is their house as well. The building is cherished, and a point of pride for Vermonters.
