0:00 – Prologue
When French explorer Samuel de Champlain arrived in what is now Vermont, he whipped out his crisp 1647 map, looked at the green mountain, and said, “I will name it green mountain” (aka "Vermont").

0:26 – It Was its Own Country at One Point
“The Vermont Republic” became independent from the jurisdictions and land claims of the British colony of Quebec, New Hampshire, and New York in 1777. It operated as its own nation for 14 years before joining America as the country’s 14th state. During this time, the Republic of Vermont even began printing their own currency called the Vermont Copper. While you won’t see the Vermont Copper back on Bloomberg anytime soon, it's’ pretty cool to live in a state that did its own thing for 14 years.

0:58 – You Aren’t Constantly Being Sold Stuff
Speaking of self-sufficient, this is a state that’s careful about what it lets in. A prime example; Vermont was the last state to get its own Walmart- the green mountain didn’t see the massive grocery store chain until 1996. While Vermont is picky about the chain restaurants and big box stores that it lets set up shop, it’s also got tough rules against roadside billboards- they’ve been prohibited for the past forty years. After all, nothing ruins your commute like a 7ft tall real estate agent yelling at you to sell your home.

1:35 – Stunning Commutes
While the absence of billboards plastered along the roads will certainly make your commute more peaceful, Vermont has plenty of other factors that will encourage you to take a long way home. The state has about 6,000 miles of paved road and 8,000 miles of dirt road. Its also home to over 100 covered bridges, some of which were built as early as 1800. So not only do you get to experience the joy of cruising through the scenic Vermont hills, you also get to experience that daily I-might-die thrill of driving over a rotten 200-year-old bridge.

2:10 – The Beautiful and Tasty Maple Trees
Vermont’s scenic highways would be nothing without the Sugar Maples. Visitors from around the world come to Vermont every fall to see the maple trees change colour, but the real magic happens in the spring - Syrup Season. It’s no surprise Vermont’s state tree is the Sugar Maple- the region has an annual in St. Albans dedicated to the trees, and produces more maple syrup than the next four states combined. Watch your back, Canada, you’re next. In total, Vermont produces 500,000 gallons of that good tree blood a year. That’s nearly enough to fill an Olympic sized Swimming pool! But Phelps, if you’re watching this, please.This isn’t a challenge.

2:53 – You’ll Eat Really, Really Well
While there’s no shortage of the sweet stuff, unless you’re Buddy the Elf, Maple Syrup isn’t a food group. Not to worry; Vermont’s got plenty of other options at its 85 different Farmer's Markets, this state is all about that farm-to-table life.

3:54 – All That Peace and Quiet
Living in a populated area can be great. Untill it’s 4am and you’re wide awake because of the barking dogs, cop cars, baby crying and roommates, guns going off, the rock band next door practicing.... Sometimes, you just want to move to a cabin in the woods and follow your dreams of becoming a hermit.

4:53 – The Laid-Back Lifestyle
Vermonter’s are way too busy doing outdoorsy stuff to bother with what they look like while they do it. Muddy rainboots or snow pants are the only seasonal trends you’ll be seeing around town.

6:01 – It’s Pet Central
This shelter is home to all sorts of species and welcomes overnight guests at it’s historic inn. The best part is telling your out of town in-laws that you booked them a room at the fancy pound.

7:05 – It’s a Snow Sport Paradise
Dummerston, Vermont is the birthplace of this wacky activity, where it was first invented Rudyard Kipling, author of the Jungle Book. Beloved children’s book writer AND inventor of snow golf? This dude’s got a great resume.

7:46 – It has the Atlantis of America
Today, when the tide is low you can make out the remnants of the town that time forget, and if you look down into the deeps you can make out bits and pieces of the Lost City of Vermont-lantis.

I moved to Vermont in 2020. I want to spend the rest of my life here, and I never want to leave! ❤

[fledecide]

Born and raised in Vermont. I couldn’t wait to move as far away as physically possible… but it takes moving away to appreciate Vermont for all that she is. A true hidden gem, there is literally nowhere else quite like it in this world. I feel blessed to call myself a Vermonter… as I’m typing this comment from South Florida 😆

I don't need 10 reasons, I'll pick Vermont over New Jersey ANY DAY

[jimr]

Native NH person here. More than happy to stay right here!

[TheWinterShadow]

I went to school in the state 4 years. The most beautiful state I've ever seen and I've seen 36 of them

[evp-nyc]

At 79 and having lived in 5 different countries and 12 different states Vermont is the best of the N E states. It’s the most beautiful and serene. An always present sense of something spiritual like emitting from the ground that the other neighboring states don’t have. Definitely Hobbit Land in the warmer seasons. No trash or graffiti anywhere.

I went to college in Middlebury. I did enjoy my time there to some extent, but the place did make me really depressed in the winter...it was sometimes really rough to be there. I think it takes a tougher sort of person to be there, and, though there was that wonderful small town charm and all the fall colors and wonderful nature, it takes real adjustment to get used to rural life. There are some real trade-offs and you need to weigh them carefully if you're going to go rural. I would be willing to bet that most people couldn't handle it. But...even though I didn't stay in Vermont, it was ultimately good for my soul to be there.

I was born in Vermont and I still live in Vermont I'm never gonna leave Vermont in my life

[jacksonthud]

This video was super funny, well-made, and informative. How does this channel not have more subscribers??

Almost nothing in the world will beat those northeastern New England forests. It's just....I don't know how to describe it, you have to go there and see...I'd say...."clean" feeling? I think that's it, it just feels very very very 'clean' up there. Down here now in North Carolina it feels gnarly, messy and swampy.

[elysiaanne]

Amazing place to grow up. It’s expensive to live here but it balances out because there aren’t millions of people and you can easily find seclusion and quiet!!! You can actually see the stars at night and there’s so many places to explore.

[brucetrue]

Fix the road from St.Johnsbury to Montpellier because I hit the same potholes I did in 1973.

[akken]

If my wife was on board, I would move to Vermont tomorrow!

[SFBenjaminK]

I LOVE THE PLACE, THE Trees & everything soo colorful, I love the rivers, lakes & leaves falling different colors in roads, is sooo pretty ...i think gonna checkout houses there & get out the f*n Cali, i have 2 houses in Cali

Being a lifelong resident. It's almost a certainty you will want to retire to a warm southern state. You will get sick of shoveling/snowblowing snow. Then the shitty mud season that follows. I have always swore I'd never lay my head anywhere else. Well at 42yrs old I've had my fill. Unfortunately all good things come to an end.

We have lived in Vermont for 27 years and loved it. The people are mostly kind and some of them real Vermonters are very quirky. In Vermont, if your family haven’t born and lived there for three generations, you are not Vermonter! They are not impressed by your high profile job or what you have.
People value your work ethics, kindness and independence. The best place to raise a family. It is rural, but not backward. There are tradition of holding town meetings, very liberal. Look at Bernie Sanders (socialist senator), Pat Lehey, James Jeffords. The first state to recognize the same sex marriage. After our retirement
we moved to a New York community near by. If you are senior citizen living in a rural part of Vermont, it’s not so easy to get around. The state taxes the Social Security, and all that shoveling the snow and mowing your property are tough. And where we lived, the nearest doctors and the hospital are 45 minutes away.

Stunning commute.
Give me a break! Nice commute

[ladypinkbagsetc.]

Love it! My hometown is St. Johnsbury. I can’t wait to get back home!
