Context

Capital City Country Club was formerly known as the Elks Country Club, or just the Elks Club. Montpelier property owner Steve Ribolini purchased the property in May 2016 and leased it back to the Elks Club. At some point the club was renamed "Capital City Country Club." The Elks Club voted to surrender its 153-year-old charter in late 2021. In March 2022 the citizens of the city of Montpelier voted to purchase the 138-acre property at 203 Country Club Road. The sale closed on June 30, 2022, for $3 million. This sign was photographed on July 5, 2023, and was visible from Route 2, also known as East Montpelier Road and the intersection of Country Club Road.
