The Northeast Kingdom Chamber is the tri-county's largest and only fully staffed chamber, handling travel promotion, community/economic development, legislative/governmental relations, business networking and promotion of regional projects.

The chamber, based out of St. Johnsbury with about 300 members, is conveniently located at the Green Mountain Mall, across from JCPenney.

We believe the best businesses in the Northeast Kingdom are Northeast Kingdom Chamber members.

The Hope Principle Show
Date: Friday, March 29, 2024
Time: 7:00 pm

Bread & Puppet Theater is excited to announce that we will kick off our 61st year by traversing the Northeast and Eastern Seaboard with a brand-new play created with our director, Peter Schumann, for the exact moment at hand. Of the show–The Hope Principle Show: Citizens’ Shame and Hope in the Time of Genocide–director Peter Schumann says, “The imminent end of the capitalist empire, colonizing and genociding as the whole world looks on in horror, attacked by a flock of cranes migrating from Palestine to replace the shit inside the White House with genuine bird droppings. Frogs, caribou, dancing bears, bicycling chickens make up the rest of the cast.”

Event Reception for Fairbanks Scales: Weighing the World Exhibit
Date: Saturday, March 30, 2024
Time: 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm

Join us for a reception for the latest exhibit in our Local History Gallery.  Fairbanks Scales: Weighing the World is curated by the St. Johnsbury History & Heritage Center.
The exhibit explores how a large scale led to large-scale changes in how the world does business and changed the course of the history of St. Johnsbury, VT.
In the early 1800s, the Fairbanks brothers had a problem and Thaddeus devised a solution. His platform scale innovation allowed for wagon loads of materials to be weighed without unloading. The concept was an overnight success and soon the Fairbanks Scale Co. was making scales to weigh everything from a piece of paper to a locomotive. The exhibit features a number of scales, alongside photographs, documents, and ephemera that tell this core St. Johnsbury story.
