VERMONT comes closer than any New England
state to realizing the quintessential image of small-town Yankee America,
with its white churches and red barns, covered bridges and clapboard
houses, snowy woods and maple syrup. Though rural, the landscape is not
all that agricultural, as much is covered by mountainous forests. The
people who choose to live here are a mix of hippies and diehard
conservatives working together to preserve their environment and lamenting
the arrival of yet more ski resorts. One striking feature of Vermont is
the absence of billboards, but the cutesy "country stores" which seem to
grace every other crossroads can become tedious. With the occasional exception, such as the extraordinary assortment of Americana at the Shelburne Museum near Burlington, there are few specific goals for tourists. Visitors come in great numbers during two well-defined seasons: to see the fall foliage in the first two weeks of October, and to ski in the depths of winter, when the resorts of Killington, and Stowe further north (home of The Sound of Music 's Trapp family), spring into life. For the rest of the year, you might just as well explore any of the state's minor roads that take your fancy, confident that some picturesque village will be around the next corner. There are far too many to list; we've had to leave out such prime examples as Peru, Grafton and Middlebury . |
