A long drive from the house but if you're planning a day trip to Burlington (about 2.5 hrs away from the house) it's worth a stop over. Check the website for availability, as the factory tour has been closed due to covid for some time. The ice cream shop is usually open and there are some things to see on the property.

Manchester (about 45 mins away) is worth exploring for a few hours. We'd recommend planning a day trip to Manchester that would include stopping at Taylor Farm, spending a few hours at Hildene (the Lincoln family home), and grabbing lunch or dinner at one of the paces we listed or any of the other options on Main Street. Manchester is small, but notable places to check out are Hildene, the local bookstore (great for kids), and Tanger Outlets. Manchester also has one of the only Starbucks in VT, but also a few other local coffee options.
