Seth Warner Statue

Tons of history in local area. Beautiful town.

I GET A KICK OUT READING THE LOWEST REVIEWS FIRST AND I FIND IT FUNNY THAT PEOPLE COMPLAIN THAT THE $5 IS EXPENSIVE FOR THE ELEVATOR RIDE. COME ON PEOPLE $5 TO HELP MAINTAIN THE SITE. DON'T BE SO CHEAP. $5 DOESN'T MAKE THIS A 1 STAR RATING. YOU CAN GET SOME GREAT VIEWS AND TO LEARN ITS THE TALLEST BUILDING IN VERMONT AT 306 FEET AND THE 6TH TALLEST MONUMENT IN AMERICA IS KIND OF COOL. BUT IS NOT THE TALLEST STRUCTURE. ITS THE 5TH. THE KINGDOM COMMUNITY WIND PROJECT AT 450 FEET TALL. FOLLOWED BY 2 RADIO TOWERS AND A TELECOMMUNICATION TOWER. IT IS A WONDER PLACE BUT TO LEARN THAT THEY TORN DOWN SEVERAL HISTORICAL BUILDINGS (INCLUDING THE VERMONT GAZETTE THE HOME OF THE FIRST VERMONT NEWS PAPERS) WAS KIND OF SAD. MAKES ME WONDER WHAT KIND OF HISTORICAL SITE THIS COULD OF BEEN IF THEY LEFT THE BUILDS OR ADDED THE MONUMENT TO THE SITE. THE LADY THAT WORK IN THE GIFT SHOP WAS VERY PLEASANT, KNEW THE AREA AND EVEN THO A FEW PEOPLE ALL AT ONCE WAS POUNDING HER FOR INFORMATION SHE STAYED PLEASANT AND NICELY EXPLAIN SHE WOULD BE HAPPY TO ANSWER EVERYBODY'S QUESTIONS ONE AT A TIME. PLUS THE ELEVATOR OPERATOR WAS KNOWLEDGEABLE AND FUN. I RECOMMEND THIS SITE FOR ALL HISTORY BUFFS AND/OR PEOPLE THAT ENJOY A NICE VIEW. A GREAT STOP FOR A DAY TRIP.
