Things to do in Green Mountains, Green Mountains: The Best Gift & Specialty Shops

August 28, 2021 Terina Blouin

Vermont’s Green Mountains are the peaks that gave the 14th state its name. Still largely covered by the verdant forest, the area is a year-round destination, popular with both skiers and hikers. The Long Trail, a wilderness hiking trail, traverses the state, while drivers set a slower pace on Vermont’s scenic roads. Quaint towns, such as Stowe and Montgomery, acres of farmed valleys, apple orchards, covered bridges and specialty stores take visitors back in time, and charming inns await.

What a fine store! Sprawling and well stocked, it has a mix of new and used books. Extensive selections across a range of subjects, including a great selection of signed books. Features a delicious cafe and gelato, as well. A great stop for an hour or more

What a great experience! If you are looking for a unique activity you will love this! My sister and I had such a cool time, and we can’t wait to go back. I was a bit nervous about the hands-on glassblowing but Andrew made us feel at ease and guided us just enough to come away with some beautiful art and a couple of drinking glasses that we can say we made ourselves. So much fun, thank you Manchester Hot Glass!!

I was recently in Bennington visiting with my family. My sister-in-law (who is a Bennington native!) and I decided to go see this. It was a first time for both of us. I have been a fan of dolls and dollhouses all of my life so this was a thrill for me. I love the detail that is put into each dollhouse and also the exhibits based on different children's books! Next trip back, it will be on my weekend afternoon to-do list!!! I was fascinated by the workroom where everything is scaled down and created. I highly recommend this to anyone who values miniatures, antique toys and dolls and just wants a chance to be a kid again for an afternoon!

The Apple Barn and Country Bake Shop

Reviewed By A7982FImaryf

You will want to comeback time after time. The baked goods are just absolutely delicious! The Maple sugar cookies, the apple turnovers, the candy apples, the cheese. Everything is great. Oh and yes it was apple season so I bought a bag of apples (Macoun). I can't say enough about this place. The staff were very helpful and the owner was very nice to talk to. It is no wonder that this place is a success!
