Northeast Kingdom, Vermont
About the Northeast Kingdom
The Northeast Kingdom of Vermont — the three counties that make up the state’s northeast corner between neighboring New Hampshire and Quebec, Canada — is known for its natural beauty and resourceful people. It is home to world-class, year-round recreation that includes mountain biking, skiing, and hiking, as well as idyllic rivers and lakes, educational institutions, and classic New England downtowns such as St. Johnsbury and Lyndonville.
The region has produced Olympians, received global awards in value-added, award-winning agriculture and microbrewing with the likes of Hill Farmstead and Jasper Hill Farm. The area’s long winters and a rural character have inspired artists and makers for decades. And now 21st-century resources are fueling a trio of coworking spaces and several early-stage tech companies.
