Village of Woodstock
Famous world-wide as the quintessential New England Village, Woodstock, Vermont has been described as "The Prettiest Small Town in America" by Ladies Home Journal magazine. In the downtown area you'll find quaint shops and galleries, up and down staircases, in alleys and along hidden side streets.

A ride through the surrounding countryside is filled with surprises around every turn; wonderful farm scenes, historic inns and country stores where traditional hospitality is still an everyday practice.

Quechee Gorge - Quechee
Quechee Gorge is a venerable attraction that has reliably awed viewers for decades. The sheer power of the glacial runoff that carved the 165-foot gorge some 13,000 years ago must have been dramatic. Equally impressive is its engineering history: The chasm was spanned in 1875 by a wooden rail trestle.

Vermont Covered Bridges
Short, long, red, white, brown, open, closed, with windows or without, there are covered bridges throughout Vermont. They are among our most popular attractions. Bridges were covered for protection from the elements. Not for the people crossing them, but for the bridges themselves. The easily replaced enclosures provided protection for the structural members and roadbed. America's longest covered bridge, spanning the Connecticut River, is in nearby Windsor.  Additionally, there's one in Quechee, two in Hartland, three in West Windsor, and four in Woodstock. www.virtualvermont.com/coveredbridge

American Precision Museum - Windsor
Explore the machinery and tools that changed the world. Precision manufacturing touches us all. Without it, we would not have the mass communication, rapid transportation, modern standards of sanitation and medical care, abundant food and clothing, or the leisure for universal education. The tools and the methods which make mass production possible were pioneered at the Robbins & Lawrence Armory in Windsor, Vermont. Using precision metal and wood cutting machines and high standards of accuracy, Robbins & Lawrence proved the effectiveness of a new type of manufacturing that would soon be known as the American System. Across America, a powerful machine tool industry grew up, flourishing especially in New England and the northern Midwest. Today, even in the age of plastics and microprocessors, the concept of precision manufacturing provides the foundation for modern industry around the world.
