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!!

We were in town just for the evening, as we were passing through but wanted to stop halfway through. John was very friendly and welcoming and gave us a great list of things to do that fit into the 5 or so hours we had. It was all great! We enjoyed a covered bridge, the monument, we paid our respects to Robert Frost and perused a few shops on Main St. we ended a great little sightseeing tour with dinner at Publyk House and we were not disappointed. Great visit to Bennington!!!

The Crooked Ram is a restaurant, craft beer & natural wine bar and retail bottle shop. We serve lunch and dinner, along with cheese and charcuterie boards. Our menus change regularly with a focus on local, sustainable and seasonal ingredients. Our draft and wine selections rotate often, and feature a curated selection from our favorite independent brewers and wine makers from Vermont and beyond.
They have changed a lot since our first visit when they had just opened. Now they added food to the beer and wine tasting's. I sampled a couple of beers they had and purchased A great Pilsner from Schilling brewery in New Hampshire. They are always changing the taps so it always fun to stop in if you have time to see what they have to offer. We didn't eat but people seemed to be enjoying what they were eating.

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.
