There is a thriving arts community in Montpelier. If you take time to wander the streets, you will find many artists and writers hard at work in their studios. Life moves slowly and the arts flourish in a world that slows down and allows one to taste and see. You will find many art galleries in the town on the side streets.
Montpelier is the outdoor lovers playground. In the middle of this small capital you will find Hubbard Park, which leads out into the wooded area where there are many trails and scenic views.
