"I love Vermont because of her hills and valleys, her scenery and invigorating climate, but
most of all because of her indomitable people. They are a race of pioneers who have almost
beggared themselves to serve others. If the spirit of liberty should vanish in other parts
of the union and support of our institutions should languish, it could all be replenished from
the generous store held by the people of this brave little state of Vermont."

President of The United States, Calvin Coolidge, 21-September-1928
