I would like to second this. As someone from the Hudson Valley NY, I found I was treated with the same distain all people not-of-Vermont get. The word for it is Flatlander and it doesn't matter where you are from, you were not born in Vermont, your last several generations have not come from here, you are basically a foreigner. It will take you 5 years to find even the beginnings of friendships, and likely you will never be fully accepted.
It's beautiful here and you will love it, but it will always seem fleeting and you will always be an outsider.

I am in that position and I have accepted it, although I have done the next closest thing which is to be a postman in my town, almost an honorary member status. Still, there is the knowledge that this title is ceremonial, it is not transmissable to my kin, it dies with me should i ever move.

I'd go with New Hampshire.
