Our journey to visit and discover the magic of every town in Vermont.

If you hang a left off route 9 in Wilmington you’ll be headed north on Rte. 100 towards the town of Dover and the Mt. Snow ski area. Mt. Snow gets a lot of skiers from major metropolitan areas in the Northeast because it’s the closest mountain to those cities.
Most of the landscape is fairly typical for a ski town; lots of places to stay and play. The center of Dover is quaint and has a historical feel to it.

Nothing gets Robyn up in the morning like a good town wide tag sale. She had read about one in Cavendish so we headed over. The first tag sale we came to was actually in Proctorsville. It took some asking to try to get the boundaries between Proctorsville and Cavendish sorted out but the two places seem to be oddly wedded into one. In fact, Proctorsville is not considered a town but rather something called a Census Dedicated Place (CDP). But the Proctorsville Fire Department was a major presence at the event so I don’t think I’ll be the one to suggest they’re not a town.
Both tag sales were great and I think I may have outspent my bride for the first time. Town wide tag sales are great because you get to walk around the town and really get a feel for it. We thought it was a very friendly and upbeat place and yet quiet and traditional Vermont as well.
Sometimes a visit slips through the cracks and I forgot to write about this one. Sorry. Got some photos though.
