Audio Postcard: Morrisville, home of The Bee’s Knees

Morrisville is a small village in Lamoille County. It only has about 2000 residents. It’s a picturesque, if bleak, filming location. Scenes from "Ethan Frome" and "Something Wicked This Way Comes" were both shot there. But there’s nothing bleak about the community spirit in one of the downtown hangouts.

Audio Postcard: Athens

One of the few things the town of Athens is known for is a longstanding debate over the pronunciation of its name. VPR’s Susan Keese visited the town in hopes of setting the debate to rest.

Audio Postcard: Rupert

The Bennington County town of Rupert is separated from most of the rest of Vermont by the Taconic range, which runs west of the Greens. But its residents consider themselves Vermonters, through and through.
