So here it is, a total of 50 feet tall with the stone obelisk itself at 38.5 feet (one for each year of Smith's life). It is a beautiful facility and the stone itself is impressive. The center is quiet and peaceful and a lovely tribute to the founder of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. There is also a full visitors' center here and a meeting house. Admission to the center and tours of the memorial site are free.

The tour guide is lovely and thorough and clearly knows a great deal about the site and is delighted to share with you! The house itself is simply gorgeous and I want to live in it. There are pretty grounds and out buildings and they host special events. It's absolutely worth the stop. Vermonters should stop by their local public library and pick up the Vermont State Historic Sites pass for free admission!

The Vermont Veterans Memorial Cemetery, located in Randolph Center, is a State run and operated…read morecemetery. This cemetery is an eternal resting place for veterans, their spouses, and some dependents. When you first drive into the cemetery, you are greeted with a beautiful monument area with the US Flag. The cemetery is broken up in sections and each section has a beautiful view of the scenery of Vermont. At the top of the hill is a beautiful view of the cemetery, picture included. Here you will find a chapel with a dedication sign (also included here), that can be used for services. Veterans interred at the cemetery receive perpetual care for their lot, including a marker and funeral honors free of charge. This is typical for most veteran cemeteries. However, at the VT Veterans Memorial Cemetery, spouses and dependents interred receive the same perpetual care and a marker for a small fee. Not common at other veteran cemeteries is the option to have your own stone. This cemetery allows for that option and also has a section for commercial purchased monuments and these purchases are made by the veteran or their family. Space is available for either casketed and cremated remains. Also located on the grounds is a beautiful memorial garden that provides a memorial stone for those veterans who are buried at sea or scattered. The cemetery provides simply a beautiful resting place with the beautiful scenery of Vermont in all directions. Certainly a recommendation of mine for any veteran.
