Because the snow and really just because it is beautifull. In fact, from 1850-1950, Vermont was NOT a popular place... Vermont led the nation in per capita out migration. Or, as Bertrand Russell put it: "Vermont is a great place to be born in, provided one emegrates when one is very very young." In the 1950's the Vermont Tourism Board tapped into the budding travel market and produced a series of videos designed to open up Vermont and her rural charms to the urban populations to her south. The campaign was wildly successful, and much of Vermont's popularity as a tourist destination can be traced back to those early campaigns and their offspring. However, for many years Vermont had an exceptionally high suicide rate. In small towns and on failing hill farms, life was particularly bleak. Two things have made living in Vermont barable for much of the population: central heat, and television. Before central heat, winter was one long battle to stay warm. And before television, winter was long, dark, and very isolating. Modern roads, bigger plows, and simply more people, have also changed some of the isolation and blown away some of the winter blues. But many people who visit us on our farm in the summer still look at our lifestyle (and huge wood stacks because we don't yet have central heat) and ask "what do you do all winter?" Vermont, for all that I love my native state, is not for the faint of heart.
