If you pack a picnic, the Dog Chapel can be a perfect day trip destination for you and your dog. While visiting the chapel and art gallery may be highlights for you, your dog, quite frankly, will be anxious for an outdoor romp. Artist Stephen Huneck generously makes the 400-acre Dog Mountain property where is home, studio, gallery and the Dog Chapel are located available for those looking for a picturesque place to walk and play with their dogs.

St. Johnsbury is located in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom, one of New England's most unspoiled regions. While this area is wonderfully wild and scenic, it is also amazingly easy to reach via Interstate 91. St. Johnsbury is located just under three hours from Boston and a bit over three hours from Hartford.

Directions: From I-91, take exit 19 onto I-93. Take exit 1 for U.S. Route 2. Turn left onto Route 2 West and proceed 0.7 miles to a right on Spaulding Road. You'll find the Dog Chapel 0.6 miles up the hill on the left.
