Vermont offers attractions and events for everyone.  Locally, we have a newly restored Opera House that offers musical and theatrical events year round.  Stroll into town and visit the Opera House and the Bixby Library and you'll see two very distinctive buildings that tell a story of this quaint village of Vergennes. Scoot down to the Otter Creek Basin park where Commodore Thomas MacDonough built his fleet of ships that defeated the British at the Battle of Plattsburgh in 1814.  Above the basin is the powerful and dramatic waterfall that powered the state's first power plant and was responsible for the industrial growth in this region more than a century ago.  A walk into town will reveal a myriad of architectural styles from simple Colonial to impressive Federal style buildings, as well as beautiful Italinate homes. Just past the main business district sits Kennedy Brother's Marketplace, now home to more that 200 crafts and antique booths.  Vergennes has a lot to offer but perhaps the most noticeable is the warm hospitality of the people who live and work in this, the smallest city in the U.S..
