Vermont Toy Museum

We loved visiting this place. All you heard from everyone walking through was " I had one of those". It was a trip down memory lane for our family which included our 22 year old. Toys from the 50's through current years. Truly a wonderful and fun place to walk through. The collections are outstanding and best of all it's free! Definitely a must see for young and old!

Visited Quechee Gorge on Fall Foliage tour and it was a gorgeous site. The Gorge looked beautiful with the fall colors and there is a trail that goes along the river if you are able be sure to take the short hike to the falls well worth the trip. Colors are beautiful and the falling leaves in the breeze so lovely!!!

Although Covid has shut down Cabot cheese tasting and the train ride, the antique store with its many venders is worth the stop to poke alone.
