@corinnec That is part of it, but I can't quite remember the year, but one of the major hurricanes of the decade flooded most of the city and it has never recovered from that. It was the hurricane that did more damage in Vermont than it did along the eastern sea coast- it was amazing. If you drive up Rt. 100 toward Killington you can see where they completely rebuilt the road after the storm washed it out.
@corinnec There are some nice eateries, the capitol sits in the center of town and it's rather comical with all the street lights just in front of it and really nowhere else. There are a lot of art galleries/craft shops too which makes shopping fun. My father used to own the Middlesex Country Store on Rt. 100 just outside of Montpelier- but it looks nothing like it did when he owned it now. You'll enjoy your visit. It's a pretty city- that's really more like a town.

Thanks so much for your comment. My picture does not represent the beauty of the view of the city of Rutland. Rutland is not a beautiful city today although it could be. It has interesting buildings and ski stations nearby but the city is quite neglected. Maybe a lack of funding...
