old your special event at the historic City Hall in the heart of downtown
St. Albans, a charming Vermont community steeped in history. This
5,000-square foot performance venue was recently renovated from stem to stern.
A stage anchors the room; soaring ceilings create a celebratory atmosphere; and 16
large windows stream natural light to bounce off the honey-toned woodwork.
Accessible by two elevators, the air-conditioned performance hall blends the
authenticity of yesterday with the practicality of today. In addition to the
performance venue, the building also features a reception room, meeting
room, and an accessible entrance. With the rich character offered
by a renovated historic building, the hall is well suited for the
performing arts, weddings, and community events.

Visit the City of St. Albans, Vermont, where the
neighborhoods are filled with historic homes and
tree-lined streets. Most have porches where neighbors
visit in real time, not in an online forum. Our homes
can be purchased by real people making prevailing
wages in the area.
The historic downtown is booming. A Hampton
Inn has opened recently, with convenient next door
garage parking. Art galleries, coffee shops, and
restaurants are spouting like mushrooms. Our newly
renovated City Hall offers up a 300-person capacity
performance space.
At the center of it all is five-acre Taylor Park, which
annually displays a summer concert series, as well
as holiday lighting that attracts record crowds.
To right: The picturesque fountain
in Taylor Park was created
circa 1891 and recently
restored to its original
majesty. It only takes
a few minutes to walk
there from St. Albans
City Hall.

You’ll love it so much,
you might just stay.
From pharmaceutical manufacturing to health care, state and
federal government, and traditional manufacturing, we have
the jobs. St. Albans and Franklin County are one of the fastest
growing communities and counties in the state.
Recreational opportunities abound. The Hard’ack recreation
area offers rope tow access to free skiing, as well as mountain
biking, hiking, and Nordic skiing. And the award winning
Recreation Department offers programming for young
families, seniors, and everyone in between.
St. Albans is moving up! Over $50 million has been invested
over the past five years in public and private partnerships
that create jobs, strengthen neighborhoods, and improve the
quality of life here.
No other place in Vermont offers this much opportunity.
