There are still a lot of high end custom mechanical engineering firms dotted around the state.

Oh definitely I was just saying that the popular image of old-timey Vermont is something like Currier and Ives or Norman Rockwell when it was surprisingly cutting edge for its time and place. If people took a time machine to any rural town here in the 19th century, it would probably be unrecognizable in many places because of the sheer number of small mills and workshops. Nowadays only the farmhouses and mill city manses have survived and so they dominate the popular imagery of the historical landscape.

Yeah, the Stowe, Manchester, and Woodstock effect.
