Addison

We drove up to visit Addison because we heard there was a great general store there at the intersection of Routes 22 and 17. Our plan was to go over 17 from there to Weybridge but the bridge was closed.
The general store was reputed to have some great BBQ, especially the brisket. They did not disappoint. The brisket was flavorful, tender, had a great bark and the portion was beyond generous. Robyn’s cuban sandwich was the best she’s ever had. The store also has a selection of in house made chocolates and other great items of interest.

Peru has a lot to recommend it. I can tell you that it has one of the most successful community churches in Vermont. There is a lot of love in that church. And right across the road is the J.J. Hapgood Store where you’ll find some really great eating. And don’t forget to plan a picnic at Hapgood Pond.

So if the city life in Middlebury is a bit too cosmopolitan for you then Cornwall is the place for you. OK, maybe a little inside Vermont humor there, but you’ll have to come here to get it and you’ll be glad you did. Located just South of Middlebury on Route 30, Cornwall appears to us to be just a great little Vermont town to live in.

We went up to check out a Blueberry Festival at the Congregational Church. Pretty much a low key local event celebrating the glory of blueberries in every form imaginable with some guitar and banjo pickin’ under the tent. After we waited out a brief rainstorm we wandered up to the church where I sampled the blueberry cobbler. I’m here to tell you it was worth the trip on its own. The church was just one of many wonderful old Meeting Houses we encounter in our travels; some well maintained and lived in like this one and others not so much. The people were extremely friendly and we considered ourselves lucky to be there on such a fine day. Thanks, Cornwall.
