The 10 Best Things to Do in Woodstock, United States
Named the "quintessential New England village," the town of Woodstock is chock full of charming Americana, including a covered bridge smack in the center of town and a village green surrounded by restored Georgian, Federal Style and Greek Revival homes. Spend a day wandering under the shade of 400-year-old hemlock trees at the Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park and then revitalize yourself at Sugarbush Farm, where you can taste maple syrup or 14 varieties of cheese for free.

I love covered bridges and this was on my list to see on our trip and I was not disappointed!
It is a beautiful bridge and I can now check this one off my list.
Being the holiday weekend, we had to park down the street and walk back but it was well worth the walk. Very peaceful and beautiful.
Don’t pass this one up.

Got here about an hour before closing. Glad we watched movie.. VERY EXCELLENT! It actually won an award. Gives a complete history of the family that built Billings and how they are related to the Vanderbilt Family. Great little gift shop. Walked around farm area and buildings. Would have liked more time.

Vermont's first national park is dedicated to conservation.
Reviewed By Susan M - Warren, Michigan
Marsh was a conservationist in the early 1800s. He saw the devastation created by logging lumber from Vermont. He started the practice of reforestation in Vermont. Billings continued the practice. Finally, Rockefellers kept up the practice and promoted conservation practices in the 19 00's. They have a conservation Institute here for students can study these practices.

Small mountain located in Woodstock.
Reviewed By loutine73 - Luxembourg City, Luxembourg
Cross middle bridge from woodstock center (right in front of woodstock inn) go straight in Mountain avenue and follow Faulkner Trail sign on the right. Even with the snow the path is clearly marked and easy to follow. Nice and easy walk into the woods, 40mn walk to Mount Tom. Nice and peaceful.

Working Vermont farm open to visitors. Free samples, free admission, visit with real farmers
Reviewed By slsquest - Harwich Port, Massachusetts
In January my wife and I found Sugarbush Farm while visiting Woodstock, Vermont. After a lengthy drive up a series of country roads we found Sugarbush. In the main building a number of employees were wrapping a variety of fresh cheeses for shipping. While there the process for creating various cheeses was explained to us. Further, we were able to taste up to 13 different cheeses. It was amazing to experience the variety of tastes! From that sampling we chose 3 cheeses for purchases.
We then tasted all four classifications of maple syrup; something we had never done before. From that sampling we chose one to bring home. We only wish we had bought more.
If you want to learn about how cheeses are made, taste test each of 13 varieties and taste test 4 grades of maple syrup visit Sugarbush Farm.

You cannot miss this expansive and colorful covered bridge! It stands out like a beacon along the side of Rte. 4 in VT. It's barn red color and length make it a popular one among covered bridge followers. I made a point to drive through it four times!

Ski Suicide Six on weekdays with an adaptive group and then have time for free skiing. The terrain is varied with good beginner trails and a few steep or ungroomed trails for more experienced skiers. Lodge is well kept and food is good and not too expensive. Walk from parking lot to lodge is easy. A true Vermont skiing experience.

We were so fortunate to go during their food festival on the main street and it was wonderful. We walked around and saw sidewalk chalk drawings, wine and food tastings and even got to see a falcon up close and personal. The town has a beautiful covered bridge and lovely homes, shops and restaurants. I will definitely visit again!
9. New England Falconry

Reviewed By Sheila C - Medford, Oregon
I discovered New England Falconry on TripAdvisor while planning our New England vacation itinerary. We are both avid birders and my hobby is bird photography. The experience at NEF was amazing! Gregory is a charming host who shares extensive information about raptors and it was delightful to witness his close connection with the birds. It was thrilling to experience the beautiful birds interact with all the guests. Flying from their perches or from the ground and taking turns landing on gloved wrists. The birds are well cared for and treated with great respect. If you have an interest in closely interacting with large birds of prey - I highly recommend you visit New England Falconry!
10. Collective, the art of craft
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 25 reviews
Reviewed By sullific - new haven, ct
Vermont seems to specialize in this sort of artisan shop (Epoch, in Manchester, is much the same) - beautiful, art-quality work, with prices to match. Collective had a few less expensive craft type items available (which can't really be said for Epoch) but still the largest selection was of more costly glassware, lamps, etc. Even if you don't buy, the items are lovely to look at. But, if you are looking for more homely craft items, these shops generally carry much higher quality stuff.
