Dog Mountain, Art museum and dog park in St. Johnsbury, United States.
Dog Mountain spans 150 acres of trails, meadows, and ponds where dogs can run freely while owners explore the art-filled grounds.
Vermont folk artist Stephen Huneck established Dog Mountain in 1995, constructing the Dog Chapel to resemble an 1820s Vermont village church.
The Dog Chapel walls display thousands of photographs and notes from visitors commemorating their deceased pets, creating a collective memorial space.
The grounds remain open Friday through Sunday from 10 AM to 5 PM, with no entrance fee required for accessing the art gallery or park areas.
The property features numerous wooden sculptures, paintings, and stained glass installations specifically designed for dogs to interact with during their visit.

Vermont contains remote locations of historical importance that often lie away from major routes. The region encompasses active and abandoned granite quarries, one-room schoolhouses dating from the 19th century, wooden covered bridges, and waterfalls flowing through forested gorges. Trails cross the Green Mountains, leading to mountain lakes, abandoned settlements, and farms that have operated for generations. Historic sites include President Calvin Coolidge's birthplace in Plymouth Notch, preserved as a museum village, and Naulakha, Rudyard Kipling's former residence in Dummerston. Several state parks provide views over the Champlain Valley and Lake Champlain. The marble exhibits in Proctor document the region's quarrying history. These locations offer insight into Vermont's industrial past, literary heritage, and rural traditions.
