Montpelier may very well be the most down-home, low-key state capital in the U.S., with a hint of that in every photo of the gold dome of the Capitol. Rising up behind it isn't a bank of mirror-sided skyscrapers, but a thickly forested hill. Montpelier, it turns out, isn't a self-important center of politics, but a small town that happens to be home to state government. It's a quite agreeable place to pass an afternoon, or even stay a night, if you yearn to see just how small-town Vermont really ticks. Sure, the Capitol is worth a visit, as is the local historical society; more than that, though, Montpelier is worth visiting if only to experience a small, clean New England town that's more than a little friendly.
