Montpelier - Industrial Montpelier
Description
This collection was assembled to accompany "The Other Montpelier: Historical Glimpses and Memories of the City’s Development along the River Valleys" by Manuel Garcia, Vermont History, 88, 1 (Winter/Spring 2020): 57-79.

As a Montpelier native who has spent many years researching its history, I offer here some historical glimpses and my own memories of the city’s industrial past."
