The Vermont Historical Society is housed in the Pavilion building originally built in 1876 and substantially reconstructed in 1971. The Society offers an extensive collection of photographs, books, documents, and maps in its vast library which document Vermont's history. A museum is also housed in the Pavilion Building which features exhibitions about Vermont's history. The gallery also includes exhibitions of regional artists and craftsmen. On a hill off State Street a few blocks west of the capitol, Green Mount Cemetery was founded in 1854 and has been a memorial for the area's talented sculptors and prominent citizens.
Maps are available for self guided tours of the unique monuments found throughout the cemetery.
Morse Farm Sugar Shack and Woodshed Theater Maple sugar has been produced by the Morses at their farm for eight generations and was once the largest maple sugar works in the United States. The farm today consists of an outdoor museum and company store which distributes maple sugar worldwide. The museum includes exhibits, tours and presentations. Hubbard Park and Tower Hubbard Park was created through a gift of 125 acres to the City of Montpelier by John E. Hubbard in 1899. Since then several other parcels have been added to the park which now consists of 185 acres and roughly 7 miles of hiking and skiing trails, numerous picnic areas, a soccer and baseball field, a small pond, a sledding hill, and a 54 foot observation tower.
