Saving Vermont’s Historic Fair Gatehouse | Montpelier News

The Vermont State Fair’s historic gatehouse, a century-old symbol of the event’s legacy, is in urgent need of repair as its foundation begins to rot. Built for horse entries in the 1800s, this iconic landmark now requires a $300,000 overhaul — including new insulation, plumbing, and electrical systems. With grants in play, the fair is rallying the community to raise half the funds by fall, starting with in-person fundraising at the August 18 kickoff of its 180th year. Help preserve this piece of Vermont history by donating via the fair’s Facebook page. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
