Summer is such a fun time to chill out in Vermont. And with so many cool events happening all over the state, it's the perfect time to plan a day trip or extended stay. Take a tour that visits a variety of great attractions, or keep it simple with just a sampling of sweet spots...like Rokeby Museum and Birds of Vermont! They're both hosting ice cream events in the coming weeks. The ideas and opportunities are endless, so there's no doubt your guests will be impressed!
Visit this National Historic Landmark and find inspiration in the award-winning exhibit: "Free & Safe, The Underground Railroad in Vermont." There's nothing else like it in the northeast!
A second exhibit (for 2017 only) presents rarely seen historic photographs depicting a select group of abolitionists. "Yours in the Cause: Faces of Radical Abolition" opens Sunday, July 9th.
Duck into the historic farm buildings filled with artifacts as you stroll the pastoral grounds.
