Vermonters aren’t known to brag, in fact we’re pretty modest when it comes to telling the world about how awesome we are. Maybe because we like our sparsely populated state the way it is, but the truth is undeniable: VT is the coolest state in America. Let’s take a look at some of the coolest things about Vermont and why the Green Mountain State is simply incredible!
- We’re the friendliest people you’ll ever meet.
Flickr/Ciera Holzenthal Our friendliness can cause some raised eyebrows when we travel out of state, but it serves us well when we’re home.
- We Green Up Vermont.
Facebook/Green Up Vermont Vermonters of all ages come together on Green Up Day and beautify our already gorgeous state. Our ecological and environmental resolve is one of the best things about Vermont.
- We have the best fairs and festivals in the world.
Flickr/iluvgadgets Where else can you find a parade centered around strolling cows down the street?
- Montpelier is the only state capital without a McDonalds.
Flickr/Mike Mozart We don’t expect that to change anytime soon either!
- If you don’t live in Vermont, then our foliage is better than yours.
Flickr/Stanley Zimney It doesn’t matter where you live, ours will always be better.
- You can get Mac & Cheese anywhere you go.
Tripadvisor/Cindy Z From take out to upscale, you can always find a good helping of delicious Mac & Cheese.
- We have over 100 covered bridges.
Flickr/malone545 These bridges aren’t just cool to look at, most of them are still in use!
- There’s gorgeous scenery everywhere…
Flickr/geoff dude And you won’t find any billboards that block it either.
- It’s the birthplace of snowboarding.
Flickr/Fer Quintana Where would be be without Burton? Living in Vermont, you’re a snowboarder or a skier. There is no middle ground.
- Vermont is full of cool and quirky places.
Flickr/Alan Day A museum that’s housed in 37 buildings? You betcha!
- We make the best craft beer in the world.
Flickr/Khürt Williams Not to brag, but we make the best cider, too. Just saying…
- Our hiking trails are amazing.
Flickr/dvs Nothing beats the Long Trail! Just look at this view from Mt. Abraham - wow!
- We have loads of natural playgrounds.
Flickr/Mike Mahaffie The best part - they’re free!

coolest things about Vermont July 08, 2020 Luke What are the best things about living in Vermont? Can we even count them on one hand? Nope! But a few that come to mind are: access to pristine and natural areas and parks, organic and healthy food, environmentally and socially aware residents, friendly locals, and a relaxed and casual way of life. Vermont is a delightful place to reside if you don’t mind living in a small city or little town, which for us, is one of the best reasons to live in Vermont – no large cities. If you love nature and want to live a healthy life, Vermont is one of the best places to live in the U.S., period. What stereotypes are there about Vermont? One stereotype about Vermont is that there’s not much else in our state save mountains, forests, lakes, and more nature. There is also the stereotype that VT is only a holiday destination spot for people from big cities like New York, Boston, and Montreal. Some other obvious stereotypes are that we never have a spring season (mud season) or that our winters last longer than half a year, or that everyone is a ski bum and loves maple syrup (this last one is actually pretty true of Vermonters). In reality, though, Vermont has much more to offer than just cold temperatures and nature spots (see above). What is the most scenic town in Vermont? Answering this question is a challenge for there are so many beautiful towns in Vermont. And giving an answer will surely lead to disappointing some while flattering others. But with that said, here are the five most scenic towns in Vermont: 1. Manchester; 2. Woodstock; 3. Grafton; 4. Stowe; 5. Shelburne. Of course, there are many other scenic and worthy towns to visit.
