A long time contributor to Yankee Magazine, Vermont based photographer Corey Hendrickson is happy to call Montpelier, Vermont, one of his favorite places. A huge fan of the Savoy Theater, Corey says without hesitation that the theater is where “there is always something engaging and worthwhile on screen.” Not to mention a plethora of great dining options thanks to NECI’s restaurant roots in town and other local favorites like Kismet. Corey was lucky to catch a first year NECI student brigade review on Main Street and used it as a great opportunity to capture the various levels of anxiety and confidence he saw. This unique community is Vermont’s state capital but home to so much more.

Yes, you are correct. This is a view looking north from the School Street bridge over the North Branch of the Winooski River. The apartment buildings front on Elm Street. On the upper right you can see the guard rail protecting the edge of the aptly named Cliff Street.
Loved my visit to Montpelier. The state house tour was excellent. The two memorable items were the dome with no rotunda beneath and the portrait of former governor Dean. It was dubbed, “L.L. Dean” because of the outdoors pose.
The Montpelier picture identified as houses backed up to Winooski River appears to me to be buildings along the North Branch. Am I right or wrong?
