The region is rich with history, and buffs will be happy to know that much of its past has been well-preserved. Visit Dog Mountain, the home of late artist Stephen Huneck, or the Old Stone House Museum, a preserved piece of 18th century life.

Dog Mountain

143 Parks Road Saint Johnsbury, VT 800-449-2580

Dog Mountain is on 150 acres on a private mountaintop spot in St. Johnsbury. The grounds are always open to people and their dogs. Stephen Huneck and his wife, Gwen, bought the property in 1995 and turned the barn into and art studio. The Dog Chapel soon followed, in 2000. The unspoiled haven is covered with hiking trails and dog ponds. Wildflowers abound in the summer and snow-shoeing is a favorite activity in the winter. On Dog Mountain, dogs are free to run, play, swim, and meet other dogs.
