I stopped by the Robb Family Farm Country Store to purchase maple candies and syrup. Their candies were fresh and made right there. There were also many local foods and other gifts. The family is friendly. It is definitely worth a visit!

This was the highlight of my weekend in Brattleboro. The staff here was super friendly and gave us a tour of the glassblowing studio and the clay crafting studio. It was such an informative and enjoyable experience. Seeing the works of art displayed around the studio was also fantastic. The quality of the exhibits cannot be understated. I will absolutely be back with family to join the glassblowing classes. I can't wait!

Beautiful location. Lush foliage and gardens surround the property. The creek that runs under the bridge is clear. The construction of the bridge is impressive. Brattleboro has done a wonderful job of keeping the bridge in great condition.

We parked just past the trailhead sign by the Harris Hill Ski Jump and hiked the outer loop of the trail, then up to the Retreat tower! You can't see the tower until you are right upon it. We hiked back down to check out the cemetery as well. Neat place.

staying the area for Thanksgiving (and we followed the self quarantine and have a negative COVID test thank you very much) and stopped in to try their spirits. being a bourdon freak i tasted their maple bourbon and was won over, not overly sweet. I grabbed a 750ml bottle and then decided to try their Manhattan. excellent choice. staff was great and the place followed all of the joyous COVID rules. hopefully i come this way again when this dreaded virus has run its course and can better experience the place.
