As part of Vermont Days 2014 this weekend (June 14 and June 15), residents and visitors will be able to enjoy some free incentives. This includes: free fishing, free day use of state parks, free entry to historic sites, and free entry to the Vermont History Museum in Montpelier.

The Vermont border is not that far away from the Capital District (from Troy, only about 40 minutes or so).
