Vermont Folklife Center
"It was not until November, 1949, that U.S. Senator George Aiken first identified the northeastern corner of Vermont as the Northeast Kingdom, thus giving name to a unique region – remote, wild, and peopled by hardy, flinty, and independent individuals who were molded both by their environment and by the ever-prevailing wind of tradition. More than half a century later, the Northeast Kingdom remains a place apart: in some cases, a last bastion of a crumbling way of life still fighting change, but in others it embraces new ways, new generations, new creativity."
