We loved visiting this place. All you heard from everyone walking through was " I had one of those". It was a trip down memory lane for our family which included our 22 year old. Toys from the 50's through current years. Truly a wonderful and fun place to walk through. The collections are outstanding and best of all it's free! Definitely a must see for young and old!

Visited Quechee Gorge on Fall Foliage tour and it was a gorgeous site.

This was a nice little stop while in Quechee. The mall had some shops near the distillery. Vermont Spirits is located at the end of the little mall. We were happy to find it open for tasting. The gentleman working behind the counter was friendly and helpful. We tried a few spirits. The most delicious one- Cassis - was out of stock and next batch was being made so we couldn't buy it just then. We tried the bourbon and vodka as well. We easily found a bottle to buy and bring home!

Although Covid has shut down Cabot cheese tasting and the train ride, the antique store with its many venders is worth the stop to poke alone.
