Life isn’t always easy in Vermont’s last frontier. The weather is less than ideal, and the economy often lags behind the rest of the state. Despite this, most of the people of the Northeast Kingdom have adapted well over the generations – mostly through that totally unique Vermont-style wit, not the obnoxious, rude sense of humor used by “comedians” who poke fun at Vermonters, but a dry humor that catches one totally off guard, a humor that is more than amusing; it also tells a message. They are a welcoming lot who enjoy sharing their history and culture with the thousands of visitors who travel to the Northeast Kingdom from around the world each year.
