Have you ever seen something out of the corner of your eye and had to take a double take to see what it is? Well, since Vermont is full of artistic expressions and unexpected sights, it’s no wonder that there are unusual statues scattered throughout the state. Sure, there are many famous places we’ve all heard of such as the Bennington Battle Monument, but here are 16 more VT statues that you may or may not have noticed before.
- Blue Moose.
