Dog Mountain was one of the highlights of our recent 12-day New England road trip, and in fact, it…read morebecame our No. 2 favorite destination, and only surpassed by Acadia National Park in the No. 1 position. If you are a dog lover and/or dog owner, this is a place for you. First, you can bring your dog(s), on a leash or without, and let them run free (except in the gift shop... there, they must be on a leash)... but outside where the air is so fresh, the terrain is beyond beautiful, they can run around to their hearts' content. In addition to the breathtaking grounds, there is also an exceptional gift shop filled with all kinds of things from clothing to furniture and everything in between... all about dogs and all designed by Stephen Huneck, the creator and owner of Dog Mountain. In addition to this great gift shop is a Dog Chapel, also created by Mr. Huneck. It is a very beautiful, spiritual homage to dogs... a place where people of all faiths and walks of life can gather to reflect on the love of their dog(s)... living or departed. When I say there were THOUSANDS of post-it notes and pictures of dogs, I think I may be way off... maybe MILLIONS, plastered on all of the walls of the interior of the chapel. Truly amazing and inspiring. I felt bad because I didn't realize we could bring our own photos to affix, but maybe if we ever return, I certainly will bring some. I did, however, write a message to our dearly departed doggies in a big notebook. I couldn't help it, but I cried buckets while there. It's okay cuz I wasn't alone, to be sure. It is DEEPLY moving, and while it was very sad for us, it is also very uplifting, too, because it's a place to honor your loving dog(s). I heartily encourage you to visit whether you live locally in St. Johnsbury, in the State of Vermont, on the east coast, or from wherever you reside, if you are a dog lover, you need to go !! Such an amazing place, and one we will NEVER FORGET.

The craved wood staircases, the built for the ages book coves, and the wooden floors that seem to speak. But the library has two other wonderful surprises. The up-to-date collection of books, magazines, and other publications. The locals must love this place as I, a visitor, immediately loved it. Last but not least is the Art collection. The Library itself has several well-placed paintings that blend in with the furniture and neighboring books. The separate Art collection, in a separate climate-controlled room, was a wonderful well-thought-out collection of masterpieces. As a frequent art museum visitor, especially in my hometown of Houston Texas, I was surprised to find the same artist's work here in St Johnsbury as in the art museum in the 4th largest city, especially in the U.S. The Athenarum's stated mission "is to promote life-long learning through art, literature and information services, and to preserve its National Historic Landmark building, art collection, and furnishings." It certainly accomplishes that and so much more. Congratulations! Ed Davis 7/6/24

I ordered the Farmhouse base in white oak with Rubio Monocoat finish and the EasyBase system. The…read moreproduct arrived in thee weeks, and Charlie Somers from customer service answered all my questions professionally and in a timely manner. The base is quality solid wood, and there are one or two character voids and cracks. The EasyBase took less than 10 minutes to put together, and the mortise and tenon joins and blocks were perfectly cut. The first thing I would note is that the provided mounting screws were too short for my 1.5" black walnut top, and the screw heads barely fit in the apron mounting slots. The second thing I would like to see is the option for leveling feet. Overall, I would recommend Table Legs to anyone looking for a fair discounted price for quality American-made solid wood legs and bases.

There's an amazing Chapel up the hill overlooking the green hillsides and white in the winter months. Inside countless visitors have left touching notes, photos and memories of the loved ones.

She took full advantage of the two dog ponds along with other pups visiting from far and wide. The marked trails are splendid to follow around the back of the property.
