Named for the wife of a general in the American Revolutionary Army, this park is great place to picnic among the trees.

My wife and I (and our pup) visited this park to hike up to the fire tower on Mt. Olga. The campground was packed for Columbus Day weekend, but that didn't hinder our cisit. In favt, the smell of the campfires added to te start of our hike. The trail to the top was very easy and the ciews from the tower were superb. The fall colors were popping everywhere! This is definitely a hike I would do again.

Wonderful family farm with outstanding staff. They work very hard to make sure you enjoy your sleigh ride. They explain the workings of the farm as the ride progresses and toward the second half of the ride there is a cabin where you stop to warm up and have a cup of cocoa. Property is beautiful! We were lucky enough to meet a few of the little baby lambs who were residing in the store, beyond cute! Definitely recommend!

Laura, Jeremy (owners) & Larry were all awesome. Very down to Earth, knowledgable, & fun - can clearly tell they love what they do despite it being a lot of work. They have close to 40 dogs on site, all of which are beautiful, friendly and well cared for. Such a cool experience to see so many dogs doing what they love to do as well- on a gorgeous property, with great cookies and hot cocoa. Really unforgettable must-do experience. Thanks guys!

Their vegetables are amazing! Their sweet corn is the best ever. Fresh green beans & lettuce. That was just the first time to stop. Just delicious!
While browsing the vegetables, we smelled the heavenly scent of fresh peach pie hot out of the oven. Couldn't resist! Oh my goodness, it was so tasty.
Gotta go back for more before we leave on Friday. I would like to take this place back to Texas with us!

The first time we went to Mount Snow was in 2011. It's where our young son fell in love with skiing. We took him back this past weekend to celebrate his 13th birthday. The mountain is all that we remember and more. The conditions were incredible with the recent snow and they were 100% open. Mount Snow has something for every level skier. My son and I loved skiing the North Face, Carinthia and all over the mountain. My husband who just decided to learn how to ski had the best lesson with Logan (thank you!!!). Logan gave him so many helpful tips, helped motivate him to stick with it and reinforced it's never too late to learn. Seeing how my husband's confidence level had been lifted after that one lesson was wonderful. There's a great summit lodge where we enjoyed lunch each day. The bubble lift is fantastic (I just wish the line wasn't as long). We will be back for sure and my husband will be sure to request Logan for another lesson.
7. Brattleboro Farmers' Market
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 69 reviews
Reviewed By eastmagicmountainman - Guilford, Vermont
This "farmer's market" is mostly for the carriage trade. There are many opportunities to receive massages, purchase pottery and sip herbal teas. There are even a few vendors selling veggies, artisanal cheeses and breads), legumes, etc., but mostly at HIGH prices (though towards closing time you might find a few bargains). Also, there is usually a local band performing, a sandbox for the kids, and picnic tables to enjoy lunches bought from one of the vendors. If you are really doing a weekly shopping for the family, however, I'd recommend that you visit one of several farmsteads in and around Brattleboro (in West Brattleboro, on the way to Putney on Route 5, or in Newline, for example) . Some of the same farms which sell at the Brattleboro Farmer's Market also have their own farmsteads, where prices are much more reasonable.

We found this attraction on the internet while searching for "things-to-do" in Southern Vermont, and decided to seek it out. Easily found by GPS, this art gallery/private home/B&B combination is well worth the stop. We spent a couple of hours touring the gallery and admiring the pristine grounds visible through the very large windows. The owner and artist Skip Morrow greeted us at the door, pleasantly explained the gallery and then left us alone to view the hundreds of humorous drawings on the walls. There is a small admission charge of $5 each, but this is applied toward any purchases that might be made in the form of a discount. We found ourselves simply taking our time as we moved about the multi-level gallery, trying to decipher the sometimes off-beat, hidden humor of the artist. Simply an relaxing and enjoyable couple of hours.

The address for this is no good, this distillery is not actually open to the public, but drive a little further on the same road for the overlook and the shop next to it has a tasting desk for this.
The liquor tastes great, would definately buy again.
