Escape to Dog Mountain  Escape to Dog Mountain

Artist Stephen Huneck of St. Johnsbury merges the lives of man and dog in both his artwork and religion. Come to the 400-acre Dog Mountain Farm on Parks Road to take in the sights of Huneck’s unique Dog Chapel. Designed and built by Huneck, the chapel is a replica of a classic 1820s Vermont chapel. That is where the similarities end, though. The white steeple is topped with a Labrador with wings, announcing the chapel as a dog haven. Stained-glass windows, dog carvings, and music affirm the connection between art, nature, and spirituality. Open seven days a week. Guests and their canine counterparts are invited to visit the chapel from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Phone: 800-449-2580.
