What is There to Do in Montpelier, Vermont?
Vermont’s capital city, Montpelier, is also known as half of the “twin cities,” of Vermont, the other half being neighboring Barre. Montpelier is one of the smallest state capitals, with the population of only 8,035 in 2006, and the only state capital without a McDonald’s and Burger King or an airport. Montpelier is cut through the middle by the Winooski River, which flows all the way to Lake Champlain. Used in the past to transport timber, the river is now popular with locals because of the parks surrounding it.
