About Us
Northstar Publishing is owned and operated by Justin & Ginni Lavely, of Danville Vt. We produce and distribute three high-quality, regional publications.
North Star Monthly
The North Star was first established in 1807 by an expatriate from Connecticut. Ebenezer Eaton arrived in northern Vermont by ox sled, bringing his family and a printing press to Danville, the newly settled seat of Caledonia County. A century later, the North Star has been re-established as a monthly community magazine, and its pages were devoted to the "reinforcement of the value of community" by publishing stories from a wide range of interests and writers.
The North Star Monthly has been honored by the Vermont Press Association with awards for feature writing and photography. Justin and Ginni Lavely took the paper over in July 2008 and are likewise committed to the people, places and institutions that for many of us make small towns home. Feature stories and human interest articles describe the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont and often reach beyond into northern New Hampshire and the rest of Vermont.
Above all, The North Star offers the stories we all have to tell. These are real people telling real stories.

A one-of-a-kind, one-stop resource for 47 communities in the Northeast Kingdom. The guide includes complete historical information and statistical data for towns, local and state government, the arts, schools and education, employment and industry, state forests, museums and historical sites, clubs and organizations, human services, hospitals, places of worship and much more! This publication is a must for people relocating to the Northeast Kingdom or visiting the Green Mountains.
