What was the first state capitol of Vermont?
In 1790 the Vermont General Assembly authorized a convention to consider an application for admittance to the "Union of the United States of America". The convention met at Bennington, on January 6, 1791. On January 10, 1791 the convention approved a resolution to make an application to join the United States by a vote of 105 to 2. Vermont became the 14th state in the Union on February 18, 1791. The capital of the state shifted between towns east and west of the Green Mountains each time the General Assembly met. Travel across the mountains was hard in the early years. This idea of sharing political power was called the "mountain rule." Many of the first meetings were held in Windsor, Bennington, Rutland, and other towns. In 1805 the General Assembly chose Montpelier as the new seat of the state government. The new building in Montpelier was finished in 1808 and Montpelier was made the permanent capital of Vermont.

What is in the state of Vermont?
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.
Why is the Morgan horse important to Vermont?
Justin Morgan, a schoolmaster who lived in Vermont in the 1700s, brought a short, stocky colt back from Massachusetts in 1792. This horse was named Figure. He was sired by True Briton and his dam was a mare "of Wildair breeding."
Justin Morgan put Figure up for stud at his farm in Vermont. Soon, Figure could out-plow the plow horses, out-trot the trotters, and was overall very versatile. Figure raced against New York bred horses, Sweepstakes and Silvertail, and beat them both in Brookfield, VT on the "Morgan Mile."
The Morgan horse was important to Vermont because the breed marked the state throughout the country as the hometown of one of the most well-known, well-liked, and versatile breeds of horse in the country.
