Vermonts Green Mountains are the peaks that gave the 14th state its name. Still largely covered by the verdant forest, the area is a year-round destination, popular with both skiers and hikers. The Long Trail, a wilderness hiking trail, traverses the state, while drivers set a slower pace on Vermonts scenic roads. Quaint towns, such as Stowe and Montgomery, acres of farmed valleys, apple orchards, covered bridges and specialty stores take visitors back in time, and charming inns await.

Manchester Hot Glass is a glass blowing studio & gallery in Manchester, Vermont. Check out our popular Glassblowing 101 class and learn the craft yourself!Having read a few not so hot reviews I would like to add that Glass making is not a slow process. We work with HOT Glass and to do so you need to keep moving. I dont rush people, I work at a pace that is nessassary to make quality glass.
What a great experience! If you are looking for a unique activity you will love this! My sister and I had such a cool time, and we can’t wait to go back. I was a bit nervous about the hands-on glassblowing but Andrew made us feel at ease and guided us just enough to come away with some beautiful art and a couple of drinking glasses that we can say we made ourselves. So much fun, thank you Manchester Hot Glass!!

The only temperature controlled shop in VT 60 degrees year round, if you buy at a place that isn't don't spend more the $10! Very high turnover & all high end wines are stored impeccably. A great little wine & Antique shop full of treasures and very knowledgeable characters! It shares the same space with the Antiques shop so the owners jokingly refer to it as "Junk and Juice". An ideal business made in heaven! Mostly bottles from smaller wine makers that you won't find at supermarkets or liquor stores plus stuff you usually only get to read about. Regular free tastings that come with free finger foods, generous pours, and great deals. I hate buying wine anywhere else. Helpful tip: if you go to one of the wine tastings, go on the earlier side, as they get busy, If you do go there later, the upside is that you can then go and hit one of Manchester's variety of restaurants" A busy, single owner shop, Called "Vermont's Must See" on NPR. American European & international furniture, paintings, folk art, lighting, rugs, mirrors, sideboards, tables, bronzes, posters, clocks, ceramics, glass, silver, jewelry & and interesting items we find on our travels. We are true estate liquidators so by necessity have a high turnover. Regular stop for dealers, designers & those searching for authentic antiques! We very aggressive pricing this is not a museum! We want to sell! The proof being 26 years here. The third generation of a family tradition & unquestionably the busiest shops in VT

What a wonderful gallery with both paintings and sculpture .. The space is inviting, the staffer was pleasant, and the art was amazing. The full-size horse sculpture, "Contender" - amazing. The stretching cat of "Lethal Weapons" - phenomenal. The impish mouse of "Wrong Choice"? Such fabulous pieces. Well worth a visit -- so many things to add to your collection.

An engaging museum both for children and for adults who want to feel like kids again. The permanent exhibit includes many fully furnished doll houses, as well as many dolls, fairy houses, puppet theaters and puppets and vintage toys for boys such as trains, planes, tin soldiers and circus wagons. The museum shop sells dollhouse kits and dollhouse furniture, as well as dolls. Hours are Saturdays and Sundays from 1 to 4 p.m., or by appointment. Admission $2 for children over three and $4 for adults.
I was recently in Bennington visiting with my family. My sister-in-law (who is a Bennington native!) and I decided to go see this. It was a first time for both of us. I have been a fan of dolls and dollhouses all of my life so this was a thrill for me. I love the detail that is put into each dollhouse and also the exhibits based on different children's books! Next trip back, it will be on my weekend afternoon to-do list!!! I was fascinated by the workroom where everything is scaled down and created. I highly recommend this to anyone who values miniatures, antique toys and dolls and just wants a chance to be a kid again for an afternoon!

An exhibit focusing on Norman Rockwell's years in Arlington, 1939-1953. Rockwell used over 200 local models for his works. The exhibit displays reproductions of many of his works as well as stories about many of the townspeople who were his models.
Nice video and great images on the walls. A good glimpse at his work. Pretty complete look at his work.

Founded more than 50 years ago by a group of local artists, the cultural center includes a beautiful Georgian mansion that showcases changing exhibits, the Arkell Pavillion, a performing arts center and the Elizabeth de C. Wilson Museum, which houses the center's permanent collection of more than 700 paintings. Join us on our beautiful 100-acre campus at the foot of the Taconic Mountains. Reimagine the arts and connect with SVAC today!
Man, I am so glad I took a chance and drove up to this wonderful little spot. Really good, world-class art on display and for sale (at very decent prices), on a lovely "campus" with two buildings and a setting in the trees. Worth the $10 admission fee. Especially if it's raining out !

You will want to comeback time after time. The baked goods are just absolutely delicious! The Maple sugar cookies, the apple turnovers, the candy apples, the cheese. Everything is great. Oh and yes it was apple season so I bought a bag of apples (Macoun). I can't say enough about this place. The staff were very helpful and the owner was very nice to talk to. It is no wonder that this place is a success!
