Top 10 Things to do Good for a Rainy Day in Green Mountains, Green Mountains
Vermonts 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 Vermonts 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 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!!

We were in town just for the evening, as we were passing through but wanted to stop halfway through. John was very friendly and welcoming and gave us a great list of things to do that fit into the 5 or so hours we had. It was all great! We enjoyed a covered bridge, the monument, we paid our respects to Robert Frost and perused a few shops on Main St. we ended a great little sightseeing tour with dinner at Publyk House and we were not disappointed. Great visit to Bennington!!!

They have changed a lot since our first visit when they had just opened. Now they added food to the beer and wine tasting's. I sampled a couple of beers they had and purchased A great Pilsner from Schilling brewery in New Hampshire. They are always changing the taps so it always fun to stop in if you have time to see what they have to offer. We didn't eat but people seemed to be enjoying what they were eating.
