Vermont, Major Cross-State Route / Steamer "Vermont"
From this point, where the Winans launched their steamer Vermont in 1808, travelers drive eastward on Route US 2, cutting through the Green Mountain Range at Bolton to the Capitol at Montpelier, to Barre - granite center of the world- and to St. Johnsbury, maple sugar city. John and James Winans built here the second successful steamboat to operate commercially only two years after Robert Fulton made his historic trip up the Hudson on the Clermont The Champlain Transportation Co. was one of the oldest steamboat companies when it suspended operation in 1932.
