What to do and see in Vermont, United States: The Best Sacred & Religious Sites

May 6, 2022 Karren Gelb

Whether you’re exploring Vermont’s covered bridges, visiting Quechee Gorge or skiing at Killington, you’ll find Vermont to be picture-perfect. If you’re the outdoorsy type, you’ll love Vermont. In winter, of course, there’s plenty of skiing and snowboarding. In the warmer months, however, Vermont offers plenty of opportunities for hiking, biking, fishing and boating. If you enjoy boating, swimming and fishing, a vacation rental on Lake Champlain might be perfect for you.

Karme Choling

A Tibetan Buddhist meditation retreat that offers classes and live-in retreats for anyone.

Reviewed By Violetmoonwater - Fairfield, United States

If you are interested in learning Buddhist meditation or teachings from practiced teachers within a genuine Tibetan Buddhist lineage, this is a great place to start. The land is beautiful and rustic with an old revitalized farmhouse providing food, lodging, and shrine rooms for your retreat. The staff are friendly and helpful. If you want to unplug from modern life and get back to what really matters, I highly recommend that you check out the retreats and courses that Karme Choling has to offer.

Weston Priory

Reviewed By 060891

Besides the magnificent foliage in October in Vermont, a two day stay at the Weston Priory was as close to heaven as I can imagine: Chanting by the Benedictine brothers, silence at mealtime to truly focus on what we eat, and meditation. A sublime experience

Old First Congregational Church

This 1805 Bennington church is where poet Robert Frost is buried.

Reviewed By Doc3100 - Traverse City, United States

This is a classic New England church which proudly maintains its Puritan connections. Although an active parish, docents are available during the week to share its history dating back to 1805. From the soapstone foot warmer to the architectural sound dome in the ceiling, you will not want to miss this gem.

St. Anne's Shrine

Reviewed By Don_Ashland_Virginia - Ashland, United States

We were using Smugglers Notch as our "Base Camp" to see Vermont. We decided to drive the Lake Champlain Islands from the Canadian border south to Burlington. Nice drive along the lake. Found St. Anne's Shrine. Interesting spiritual surprise along the lake. Very peaceful, no one else around. Very "moving" place.
