In the seat of Windsor County, discover Vermont’s only national park, three covered bridges and dozens of shops and restaurants.

Travel back to a bygone time in Woodstock, Vermont. The picturesque town, located in the midst of the Green Mountains, remains remarkably similar in appearance to how it looked a century ago. Vermont is known for its stunning nature and charming villages in Woodstock, experience both in one place.

Discover the shopping, dining and lodging attractions of downtown Woodstock. From antiques to artwork, find something to please any shopper. Explore the beautifully preserved 19th-century brick buildings that line the streets.

Covered bridges were once common throughout New England, but now few survive. Woodstock is home to not one, but three spanning the Ottauquechee River. Try to find them all. Lincoln Bridge, a plain wooden structure, is the simplest of the three. Recognise Taftsville Bridge by its distinctive red paint. Get your camera ready at Middle Bridge, known for its intricate diamond windows.

Explore the Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park, dedicated to three individuals who had tremendous influence in fostering conservation and stewardship of America’s landscapes. Trek to the Pogue, a beautiful mountain pond, and learn about the area’s history and future on a guided ranger tour. Visit the stately brick George Perkins Marsh Boyhood Home. Check out the paintings and photographs inside and relax in its manicured gardens.

Discover Vermont’s rural heritage at Billings Farm and Museum. Explore the 1,000-acre (400-hectare) working dairy farm. Watch the afternoon milking and meet cows, sheep, horses, oxen and more through interactive programmes. Check out historic exhibits in the 1890 Farm House and learn about life on a 19th-century farm.

Drive 10 minutes north from the town centre to Suicide Six. Go skiing or snowboarding down its snowy slopes in winter months. Have fun at your own pace on trails ranging from beginner to black diamond.

To experience Vermont’s scenery and small-town charm in one place, visit Woodstock. With the Green Mountains at its doorstep, go from browsing galleries in town to traversing wilderness trails in the forest in just a few minutes.
