					<description><![CDATA[No surprise that not only are the buildings in downtown Montpelier interesting, but the houses are too. Sometimes, it&#8217;s just the paint on the house that makes it interesting. I just love the patriotic flags, as well as the abundance of black-eyed susan flowers of this Victorian. Most of the houses I saw were Victorian, [&#8230;]]]></description>

The Winooski River, deriving its name from the Abenaki word for &#8220;where the wild onion grows,&#8221; is a vital 90-mile waterway in Vermont, flowing from the&#160;Cabot&#160;area to Lake Champlain. It shaped the region’s history by powering early&#160;sawmills&#160;and textile industries, most notably through&#160;Ira Allen&#8217;s [&#8230;]]]></description>
