The smallest capital city in the US is Montpelier, VT with a population of just under 8,000. It’s a welcoming town nestled where two rivers meet in the Green Mountains. Known for it’s historic state government buildings and independently owned shops, it also happens to be the only capital city in the whole country without a McDonalds restaurant.
The private campground where we’ve been staying for the Fourth of July weekend, is only 33 miles from Montpelier. We decided to take a day and check out the gold domed State House and visit Bragg Farm where the Bragg family have been making maple syrup for 8 generations. Tasting 100% real maple syrup for the first time was one of those defining moments when I realized I would never be able to buy Log Cabin or Mrs Butterworth syrup ever again.
We also got to enjoy the weekend without rockets glaring or bombs bursting. Starbaby is terrified of fireworks so we were thankful our campgrounds celebration revolved around everyone “lighting up” their camper instead.
