Welcome to this UCPlaces tour of Montpelier, Vermont — America’s smallest and most charming state capital! Nestled between forested hills and the winding Winooski River, Montpelier might be compact, but it’s full of heart, history, and delicious local flavor. Today, we’re going to explore its best sights — from maple farms and museums to river views, historic architecture, and peaceful parks. Before we hit the road, though, you might want to grab some lunch to go. Montpelier is known for its local cafés and farm-to-table eateries — the kind of places where the bread is baked fresh, the cheese comes from a nearby creamery, and someone probably tapped the maple syrup this morning. Whether it’s a sandwich, salad, or a Vermont classic like a cheddar-and-apple wrap, you’ll want something tasty to enjoy later at our final stop in beautiful Hubbard Park. This tour will take you on a loop through the heart of the capital, weaving together stories of early settlers, creative artists, and generations of locals who’ve built a life around Vermont’s values: community, independence, and connection to nature. So, get comfortable, cue up your curiosity, and let’s roll! From the sweet traditions of Morse Farm Maple Sugarworks to the golden dome of the State House and the forests beyond, we’re about to see why Montpelier is small in size — but big in spirit. Are you ready to explore? Great! Just follow your navigation to our first place.
