About Vermont
The story of Vermont
Vermont is maple syrup boiling in sugar houses, Green Mountain foliage in October, and Ben & Jerry's cows chewing on the hillside.
History & heritage
The 14th state and the first admitted after the original 13 in 1791, Vermont was an independent republic for 14 years before joining the Union. With the state motto “Freedom and Unity” and a founding year of 1791, Vermont carries a history you can wear on your chest — that's what our print-on-demand apparel is here for.
Geography & landscape
The Green Mountains run the length of the state; Lake Champlain forms the western border, and rolling farmland climbs into ski country. Covering 9,616 sq mi, Vermont lies in the Northeast region and runs on Eastern time.
Culture, food and traditions
Maple sugaring, farm-to-table dining in Burlington, Killington skiing, town meetings, and Bernie Sanders' brand of independence define Vermont. From regional flavors like maple syrup, cheddar cheese, apple cider donuts to festivals such as Vermont Maple Festival and Ben & Jerry's Free Cone Day, the culture of Vermont shows up in every collection we design.
Sports, colleges and community
Home teams like Catamounts, Vermont Green FC and universities such as UVM, Middlebury, Norwich anchor communities across the state — and inspire many of our Vermont designs.
Parks, landmarks and wildlife
Landmarks like Ben & Jerry's Factory, Stowe Mountain, Lake Champlain, Church Street Marketplace and protected lands such as Green Mountain NF, Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller, Lake Champlain give Vermont its outdoor identity. The state animal is the Morgan Horse, the state bird is the Hermit Thrush, and the state tree is the Sugar Maple — all of which show up in our nature and park collections.
