Friends of the Vermont State House

1

The Friends is an all-volunteer nonprofit organization, begun in 1980, to advocate for and help to fund the restoration and conservation of the building with its collection of art, furniture, and memorabilia, all expressing the history of Vermont itself. Integral to the Friends' mission is the interpretation of the building for the public. The organization works closely with the State Curator's office and supports the training of volunteers who serve nearly 150,000 visitors each year through specifically designed tours.
