Vermonter.com

Vermonter.com Vermonter.com began in Newport, VT in 1996 and has continued to create Vermont related articles, folklore and photos for many years

Vermonter.com was established back in the mid-1990's as the Vermont Northeast Kingdom Guide. It was a showcase for businesses and stories in and around the Northeast Kingdom. Over time, it expanded and evolved (much like the State if Vermont itself) to include more of a
general Vermont view. The main objective is to find and publish stories that show what life in Vermont for previous generations

was really like, good or bad. Along with that, we hope to entertain or even stir up people a bit with some good old Vermont sarcasm and non-politically correct nonsense. Vermonters are an independent lot. That doesn't mean that we're always right, because we often aren't. Many of us are downright pig-headed and stubborn but we also respect the rights of others to have their own opinions (because as most old-time Vermonters will say "we know they're wrong anyway!")

Vermonters seem to be a dying breed or at least an evolving one. People from out of state view Vermonters as quaint, sarcastic, isolated people like the quirky folks in the Chevy Chase "Funny Farm" movie that was made in Vermont a few years ago. Truth be told, there really are some of these Vermonters here but you're most likely to find them in the less populated areas of the state. Maybe even a few within Chittenden County which many native Vermonters jokingly refer to as "not really being in Vermont" or "we don't count Burlington, it ain't really Vermont". Vermonters are human and we make mistakes. Sometimes our independent, stubborn attitudes get us into trouble but we're not ogres. We're quick to apologize for stepping on the cat's tail or whatever transgression we may have incurred. You're sure to find spelling and grammar errors here and there, within Vermonter.com or an article that has not been "rewritten enough". If so, just let us know and we'll fix it. Vermonters are not Hobbits...most aren't anyway. Awhile back there was a newspaper article comparing Vermonters to Hobbits. Boy, did the guy who wrote that fine piece get a wrong number. There may be a few cuddly, nebbish Vermonters out there but obviously the guy who wrote the article never paid a visit to the fabled Northeast Kingdom. If he were to venture to the rural communities of northeast Vermont, he would encounter burly, tall woodsmen, rugged building contractors and the like. Not even close to being cuddly Hobbit types.
