The courthouse in the middle of downtown St. Johnsbury
A view of the church-steeple dotted skyline of St. Johnsbury
In 1949, a former Vermont Senator in awe of the beauty of his state's three most northeastern counties (Orleans, Essex and Caledonia), dubbed this area the "Northeast Kingdom". St. Johnsbury is the "unofficial gateway" to this area.
Verdict: No. As a disclaimer the book says "when foliage flames each autumn, they could very well be the most beautiful place in America." And we were there in August, well before the flame of foliage. It was still a beautiful area to drive through. Rolling hills, lakes, small towns and villages, quaint churches, etc. But we all agreed there are many places like that throughout the country and there didn't seem to be any one thing about this particular area that made it stick out against other similar quaint, charming, beautiful areas/towns.
