Top 10 Things to do Good for a Rainy Day in Woodstock, Vermont (VT)

April 4, 2022 Karren Gelb

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.

We did the Quechee Gorge trail. As we were leaving, the counter person told us to make sure we stopped in the Cabot store. Sure glad we did! Unbelievable amount of cheese samples and wine samples, too! We ended up buying cheeses and wine. Great store.

FH Gillingham & Sons General Store

The size and shape of Woodstock, Vermont, was quite different in 1886 when Frank Henry Gillingham opened his store that stood in the heart of this small New England town. Reverently the community has preserved the physical buildings and the spiritual essence of an earlier day. Located in the village center is F.H. Gillingham & Sons General Store. The faces of the townsfolk may have changed and the store’s inventory may have evolved, but the family running the store has remained the same. Today's owners are descendants of both F.H. Gillingham and Franklin Billings. Frank & Jireh Billings proudly carry on the family tradition that their great–grandfather started 132 years ago.

Norman Williams Public Library Central Library

Reviewed By Ac13wheels - Jacksonville, United States

My fiancé and I wandered into this beautiful building a couple days before our wedding. We were in town a few days for our elopement and were exploring the beauty of Woodstock. The library was having a book sale, and we found a book of love poems we decided we needed to have. We struck up conversation with the librarians about why we were in town and ended up having the nicest conversation. They were so sweet, and even treated us to the book of poems as a gift from the library. They also offered some suggestions of things to see while we were in town. It will always be a sweet memory for us!
