Grafton Village Cheese

Reviewed By bklyn56 - Westford, Massachusetts

The people in Vermont know their cheese, and those in Grafton excel at cheddar. The shop offers samples of most all of their cheeses, meats and condiments, so you can experiment and discover a new obsession. Their 6 year cheddar (which comes about usually by accident) is the sharpest cheddar I've ever tasted. It puts all other cheddar to shame. My mouth is watering right now as I think of it and write this review. Their smoked and garlic cheddar is also excellent. They also sell wine and bottled beverages.
NOTE: Cheddar cheese will keep for several days unrefrigerated, so buy some to take home. You'll be happy you did.

This shop has a small selection of well selected, but not particularly unique items. It feels more like a gallery than a shop due to the small selection. Nice merchandising!

We only planned for a quick stop, but ended up shopping and eating lunch for a two hour visit. This huge store has so many things to look at! Many items are from the time of my youth and prior generations so it seems like a museum, but everything is for sale. Definitely worth the short drive off the interstate to visit.

Stayed in Grafton in the summertime and this place has everything you might need for a relaxing summer day, a nice large pond with a diving/sunning floating platform and paddle boats, canoes,etc. It's also got lots of trails to hike, explore, or bike that are dog friendly. And they've got a frisbee golf course running alongside some of the trails that makes for a fun time for the young ones who might not be that into summertime nature hikes!

Rockingham Meeting House

Reviewed By JohnTheBear - Toronto, Canada

You can almost picture the congregation singing hymns and fuguing tunes by the likes of Billings. Old meeting house from the late 18th century with many original elements preserved. Very interesting and its spare decoration makes for some neat structural photography. Helpful volunteer was staffing during my visit. Free, but please give them a donation - they have much more work to do. Nice old churchyard to visit as well.

Jud Hartmann Gallery

Reviewed By drstretch2

We stopped in at the Jud Harmann Gallery while in Grafton, VT and it was a highlight of our time in Vermont. His work is amazing; the sculptures' express such emotion, movement and realism that you have to touch them to believe its bronze. Even more impressive and interesting is talking with the artist! He has a passion for the history of the Eastern Native American and clearly loves sharing it with visitors. We could have spent the afternoon just chatting with him. The building where he exhibits is also a treat to see. Don't miss a visit if you are in Grafton!

Plummer's Sugar House

We are a working sugarhouse in the beautiful town of Grafton, producing all grades of maple syrup and maple products. We offer a free tour with any purchase at our store. We also will ship purchases and accept all major credit cards.

Reviewed By Patricia K - Haymarket, Virginia

Enjoyed our tour of the sugar house with Debe Plummer especially since it differed from our visit to another farm. Plummer's operation was modern with a huge piece of evaporation equipment and transportation of the raw sap from the trees through a tube system directly into tanks outside the sugar house. They have a small shop where we bought Amber Syrup and maple sugar.
