Not sure how to say Calais, or Topsham, or Beebe Plain? With your help, we've built a guide for all those tricky names on the Vermont map.

If you've lived here a long time, you might think you don't need this guide. But trust us: You'll learn something.

Explore an interactive version of the guide, and check out a map of Abenaki place names, at bravelittlestate.org.
