St. Johnsbury, Vermont

The informal capitol (and largest community) of the three counties that make up the Northeast Kingdom, St. Johnsbury owes much of its character to the Fairbanks family. In 1830, Thaddeus Fairbanks invented the platform scale here, creating a fortune and a family that has been responsible for many of the unique features of the town, including the Fairbanks Museum & Planetarium, the St. Johnsbury Athenaeum and Art Gallery and the local academy. One of Vermont's largest maple producers, the Maple Grove Farm, is also located here, and the Burke Mountain ski area is just a short drive to the north in East Burke.
