Vermont is home to some of the country's finest artisans. From basket weavers to sculptors, woodworkers to furniture makers, fly rod specialists to rug hookers, Vermont has earned a well-deserved reputation for the quality and beauty of its products.

Also, let's not forget the art of making pure maple syrup, one of Vermont's great legacies. Tradition plays a role. Innovation and passion, too. But above all, it is the Vermonters themselves who, in the words of Vermont poet Robert Frost, often have taken the road less traveled in pursuit of excellence. And it has made all the difference.

Vermont in Motion pays tribute to all Vermont artisans and manufacturers who have contributed to our rich heritage and who continue to sustain the creative aesthetic of our great state.
