2026 Vermont Study Tour
September 13-17 • Montpelier, Vermont
Overview:
Natural Stone Institute returns to Vermont for this always popular study tour event. Registration is planned to open in early April offering Full, 2nd in Room, Non-Lodging and some a la carte attendance options. It’s been ten years since our last Vermont tour and attendees can expect visits to familiar and prominent Barre and surrounding member sites like Miles Supply, Buttura and Ghirardi, and Vermont Quarries’ Danby Marble quarry. We are still reaching out to NSI members, so expect add a few new sites along with traditional favorites like Hope Cemetery and both Vermont Marble and Granite museums. Monday night will feature the annual auction event which has become the “must attend” highlight of this event.
New in 2026:
Still promoted as a four-night event, formal programming will end Wednesday afternoon allowing for travel home that evening, if necessary. But anticipate availability of some informal activities for those who can remain one more night to take further advantage of the valued networking opportunities and travel home Thursday morning.
