Top 7 Things to do Good for Kids in Woodstock, Vermont (VT)

December 27, 2021 Nicolette Lion

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.

Mount Tom

Small mountain located in Woodstock.

Reviewed By tmueller19 - Narragansett, United States

Took the trail from Faulkner Park. Easy grade with lots of switchbacks. Couldn't walk on the groomed trail to the lake after reaching the summit but still worth the hike.

Reviewed By LMom1

If driving along Rt 4 near Quechee and Woodstock, you will going next to or over the Ottaquechee River many times. There are a surprising number of covered bridges that are easy to see in the area. Plus the magnificent deep gorge is right there below the highway (worth a stop and a walk).

We spent a lovely post-Christmas day here. The sun was out, we walked the barns full of cows, sheep, goats, and chickens, and enjoyed a self-tour of the holiday-decorated homestead. We also took a horse-drawn wagon ride through the property, under blanketed warmth provided by the farm, and then indulged in some to-die-for maple fudge from the lovely little gift shop. Great place, great people... a must visit if you happen to find yourself anywhere in Vermont....

Sugarbush Farm

Visit a working Vermont farm and sample 15 kinds of cheese and the four different grades of Pure Vermont Maple Syrup. Open every day with free self tours of the maple sugar house with a video of have sap is boiled into syrup in the early spring. Maple walk in the woods to see how trees are tapped. Located 5 miles from historic Woodstock on a scenic town maintained gravel road. No reservation needed but best to call for road conditions during winter storms and early spring thaw. Picnic area, kids play area, and farm animals during the warmer months.

My bf and I spontaneously Decided to do a last minute get away trip to Vermont and our first pit stop was Sugarbush farms. The staff were very friendly and kind. Lori (or Lauri?) was more than willing to cut up some cheese for us and provide some background information which we greatly appreciated. The grounds were beautiful even during a stormy day. The gift shop attendants were very helpful and kind. The maple walk was beautiful and we enjoy a nice stroll even though it was a bit cloudy and rainy. We left with lots of cheese and maple syrup and no regrets!

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.

Taftsville Covered Bridge

Reviewed By pearcyfamily

Driving over a covered bridge was on the bucket list. This filled that need. One car at a time can pass, over a river. We got the pic for the scrapbook.
