Southern
Vermont is fine, and the closest part
of Vermont
to Albany, Boston, Hartford and New
York City.
In summer, The Green Mountain
National Forest attracts hikers and campers,
some of whom follow the Appalachian
Trail.
In winter, Mount
Snow is a ski destination.
Highlights of southern Vermont include
these towns:
Bennington
The graceful lady of southern
Vermont, it is home to renowned Bennington
College,
the Bennington
Battle Mounment, and
the notable Bennington
Museum,
with its fine collection of paintings
by Grandma
Moses—not to mention
the classic cars displayed by Hemmings
Motor News.
Brattleboro
Vermont's oldest town (1724) is
now a thriving farm, transport and commercial
center. My great aunt once operated a dry
goods store in one of its many red brick
buildings.
Grafton
Among the most pristine and perfectly-preserved
Vermont villages, its gracious old
inn is the big attraction here.
Marlboro
A tiny village, a small college, and a
world-famous summer music festival
in the midst of southern Vermont's
beautiful countryside.
Newfane
A typically beautiful small Vermont town
noted for its good inn dining rooms.
West Dover
The nearest village to Mount
Snow, one
of southern Vemont's best ski areas, served
by a number
of good
inns.
Wilmington
An important highway crossroads
town popular for shopping and for the nearby
Mount
Snow ski area.
