St. Albans City -- Known as 'Rail City," St. Albans is home to the New England Central Railroad. It has a vibrant downtown that reflects the railroad's influence. Visit downtown to shop at local businesses, tour Taylor Park or the Franklin County Historical Museum, and take a self-guided walk. The city hosts frequent festivals, including the Vermont Maple Festival and Christmas in Taylor Park.
Growing Our Rural Economy - Agriculture and forestry are the staple of Franklin County's rural economy. Local farm and woodlot owners, families, and communities work to keep land productive, conserve open space, and maintain Franklin County's rural flavor.
