Explore Newport through the years

Our city may be small, but it has countless stories to tell. Nestled between the Green Mountains and “beautiful waters” of Lake Memphremagog, you’ll find a rich history of people, places, and events worth remembering.

People

In our remote corner of the country, the people of the Northeast Kingdom thrive due to our ingenuity and the strength of our community. This has been the case for thousands of years.

Places

The shores of Lake Memphremagog are fertile ground for fascinating places. Whether you seek natural wonders or beautiful Victorians, you are bound to find something of interest in this neck of the woods.

Events

What we lack in population, we make up for in unexpected stories. Relive our unique history searching for stolen Spanish dablooms, locating prohibition era caves, and touring houses with grand and haunting pasts.

“First, we must acknowledge that Vermont is part of the homeland of the Mohican people and the Alnobak, the Western Abenaki people. We are all part of the circle of creation and the health of our human communities has an impact on all our relations, human and nonhuman. We want to take this moment to recognize the land itself, Mother Earth, and the many blessings that we are given. We hope you will take the time to think about your relationship to place and what land means to you.”
