H.N. Williams General Store

Reviewed By Beachmtntraveler - Dorset, United States

This general store has everything you could possibly need from a coffee bar with fresh muffins to an ice cream counter, a deli, fresh soup, salads, beer and wine. They recently did a big expansion and have a much greater selection on seasonal clothing, boots, shoes, coats, teeshirts, hats, etc. This store also carries some grocery items, dog, cat and bird food. Prices are very reasonable and you can even find Vermont cheeses and maple syrup. Fill your tank as new gas pumps are available too. If you can’t find it here, you don’t need it. Great local store!

Dorset Farmers Market

Reviewed By JohnJessica0703 - Glastonbury, United States

Whata great find! We stopped by on a Sunday afternoon and had a great time at the farmers market which featured local farmers, artists, and maple syrup vendors selling their goods. Located inside the wood shop, you can purchase maple syrup, cheese, freshly baked breads, vegetables, handmade jewelry and local artist's paintings.

Emerald Lake State Park

Reviewed By brenda0l - White River Junction, United States

This park is beautiful in the fall. The trail around the lake is pretty easy to hike, and full of picturesque foliage scenes. Would have loved if there were kayak rentals available as this place is perfect for kayaking. A wonderful place to spend a fall afternoon!

Firstly, this company devoted a portion of their factory to create shields for healthcare workers during COVID-19. Showed up for the community. Lovely kitchen supply store. Besides that, creates their own items like beautiful cutting boards. Also great customer service that believes in their work. Definitely worth a stop!!
