ABOUT BURLINGTON

Location: In northwestern Vermont's Champlain Valley, Burlington is the state's largest city and center of its strong progressive movement. Bernie Sanders, the only Independent US congressman, was Burlington Mayor from 1981-89, and the Progressive Party, with current Mayor Peter Clavelle, city council members, and several state representatives, continue the tradition. The city offers an accessible waterfront, many restaurants, and diverse cultural fare. 

Getting here: Burlington has an airport served by Continental, United, Delta, US Airways, and Jet Blue, a new airline providing low-cost flights from New York. Downtown Burlington is less than three miles from the airport. If you are driving, Burlington can be reached via Interstate 89 and Vermont Route 7. Amtrak has service to nearby Essex Junction. Trinity College is located on Colchester Avenue, directly across from the University of Vermont campus.

Accommodations: Conferees planning to stay at area hotels and motels are urged to make early reservation, since Vermont's famous foliage season can limit availability. For lodging information, go to www.vermont.org , or call the office at (802) 654-8024, for motel referrals. Affordable, but basic overnight accommodations are available at Trinity College (see below). A limited number of participants can be hosted in area homes, on a first come basis.
