Saint Johnsbury

Saint Johnsbury combines a compact Victorian-era center with a river-valley setting in a way that reflects its position at the meeting of the Passumpsic and Moose rivers in northeastern Vermont. Long associated with the Fairbanks family and the scale-making enterprise that shaped its nineteenth-century growth, the town retains a civic core of substantial brick and stone buildings. The 1871 St. Johnsbury Athenaeum is both a public library and art museum, known for its collection of 19th-century American paintings. Nearby, the Fairbanks Museum & Planetarium, founded in 1891, explores Vermont’s natural history and the night sky. As the seat of Caledonia County, Saint Johnsbury remains an important service center for the Northeast Kingdom.
