251 May 140Like many Vermonters we’ve visited Woodstock quite a few times but mostly passing through on our way somewhere or back from somewhere. This time we did a lot of walking around. Woodstock is a pretty good town for that.

We marveled at the beauty of the magnificent Woodstock Inn, and the wonderful town green which is the certainly the most aesthetically pleasing roundabout you will ever see. The streets are full of lovely shops and restaurants. There is so much to see and do in Woodstock, we will surely have to visit again.

American history is richly preserved in this beautiful village which was the birth and burial place of Calvin Coolidge, the 30th President of the United States. We enjoyed touring parts of the historic buildings there including the general store run by Coolidge’s father, the upstairs of which served as the summer white house on more than one occasion.

There is also a wonderful cheese factory there where you can watch the cheese being made. I took home some Hunter’s cheese. Wonderfully smooth and slightly sharp cheddar. Plymouth is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been in Vermont, and in many ways time there has stood still.

I’m sure that those who live in these little hamlets find their surroundings quite pleasant and remarkable.  A lot of that is evident even to the casual visitor. Most noteworthy for us was The Long Trail Brewery although we didn’t spend a lot of time there. It was also a beautiful place to stop and watch part of the Killington Stage Race (bicycles) that took place throughout the day. I’d definitely add this area to places I could live in Vermont.
