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 people can observe and participate in 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 shared values, diversity, ongoing civic discussion and decisions. It affirms to those that have historically been marginalized, that this is their house as well. The building is cherished, and a point of pride.
