Sometimes life happens and Vermonters have to – gasp! – leave Vermont. While most of us would live here forever, there are some things we see when out of state that make us think of home in VT. There are plenty of intangible things that have us longing for 802 living such as helpful people and close knit communities, and there are more than a few tangible ones as well. What makes you think of Vermont?
