Stop in Proctor, just 50 mi/80 km south of Burlington, to see the Vermont Marble Museum, which contains tons of marble statuary, including the impressive Hall of Presidents. There are interactive displays and, occasionally, sculptors at work. https://vermontmarblemuseum.org.
While you're in the area, take time to tour Wilson Castle. Built right after the Civil War, it's a fantastic palace with 32 rooms, a turret, frescoes, Tiffany chandeliers, dozens of stained-glass windows and an aviary full of peacocks. https://www.wilsoncastle.com.
