About Vermont...
The Gateway
to Vermont is a very attractive site that provides an eclectic mix of
information and links on the Green Mountain State. Among
the interest sections well worth exploring are Vermont's state,
county and local history, biographies, a grand selection of images
and a very good compilation on the state's cemeteries.

New Englanders and many
others tend to think of Vermont as the "just" the home of
Green Mountains. But the southern-still hilly but less mountainous-parts
of the state have a wealth of towns, cities, villages and things to do
"year round" that should not be overlooked by those seeking
the "real" Vermont.
At Southern
Vermont.com, they are Bridging the Past, Building the
Future. Associated with the Great
Fall Regional Chamber Commerce and the Southern Vermont Regional
Marketing Organization, the service represents real Vermonters
from places like Bellows Falls, Jamaica (yes,
Vermont has one), Londonderry, Putney, Stratton and many places in the
region. The site offers vacation packages and information on
local events, a search program for lodging and viewers can
"bookmark" what they learn at the site for subsequent visits
and updates. They welcome email requests for information or call
