Visit Woodstock Vermont - Eat - What-to-Do - Stay
Woodstock Vermont has to be where charming was coined when someone visited there for the first time. I am sharing what to do in Woodstock, Vermont, where to eat and where to stay. The village of Woodstock, Vermont was a gift from New Hampshire back in 1761. And it will be a gift to you when you visit Woodstock. If you visit the old wooden red bridge, the Taftsville Covered Bridge, #Taftsville is part of Woodstock. Viewing and photographing the Taftsville Covered Bridge has room on the side of the street for about five cars to park and jump out to take a pic.
After snapping pics of the Taftsville Covered Bridge, keep going six miles on 4 East to the Quechee Gorge Gifts store, park there and walk to the middle of that bridge to view and take tons of pics of the Quechee Gorge. You can easily do this with a wheelchair as well. If you want to hike down the gorge, its entrance is right behind this Quechee Gifts store. There’s a huge parking lot and it’s maybe a 100 foot walk on a sidewalk to the middle of the Quechee Gorge bridge. Quick stop and worth it! #visitwoodstock #woodstockvermont
Walking in downtown Woodstock is easy, with many of the shops and cafes, like Mont Vert Cafe (coffee) and the Ruth's Table and The Mountain Creamery within walking distance when you visit Woodstock, Vermont.
I will share with you where to stay in Woodstock, where to eat when you visit, as well as what to do on your visit.
We loved love loved Ruth's Table, and I don't think I ever said its name in the video. That's where I had the chef-prepared chicken schnitzel and enjoyed a warm atmosphere for dinner.

Hurricane Irene Aftermath
Even though NYC was spared this time, there could be some $45 billion in damages along the East Coast. Inland there was epic flooding in places like Vermont, setting off the state's worst deluge in more than 80 years. Many homes and businesses were flooded after 7 inches of rain inundated the state from Irene. During the course of Irene, at least 7.4 million customers lost power, which was nearly double the outages from the last hurricane to make landfall in the United States in 2008. Yes, it could have been much worse, but how much should or would it have been?

Vermont is equal parts myth and reality. A mere mention of its name and images appear: sunlit meadows of black-and-white cows, dazzling white ski trails, tidy hillside farms, blazing red maple trees along a stone wall, covered bridges, buckets collecting sap for maple syrup.
Vermont is a place, but also a state of mind that revels in outdoor beauty, good food, and the preservation of unique small towns and cities. Visitors love Vermont for its colorful fall foliage; ski mountains like Killington, Manchester, Stowe, and Mount Snow; mountain vistas; and attractions for families and kids. Although Vermont is an inland state, it has beaches and water sports at the Lake Champlain, along with many lakes, streams, and swimming holes.
Yep, Vermont’s got it all. Here’s a look at the best places to visit in Vermont.

Killington is a town in Rutland County, Vermont, United States. The population was 811 at the 2010 census. Killington Ski Resort and numerous vacation lodges are located here. The town was previously named Sherburne, but was renamed to its original name, Killington, in 1999. The town of Killington was chartered on July 7, 1761 by a New Hampshire grant. In 1800, it was renamed Sherburne after landholder Colonel Benjamin Sherburne. The town voted to revert to its original name of Killington on March 2, 1999; which was approved by the Vermont General Assembly, and became effective July 1, 1999. The 2007 town meeting considered a proposal to impose a three cent surcharge on every dollar of property tax revenue. The proceeds would have been used to fund a town economic development group. The surcharge was not approved by the voters. Killington was one of thirteen Vermont towns isolated by flooding caused by Hurricane Irene on August 28, 2011. Killington was cut off for 19 days. According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 46.9 square miles (121 km2), of which 46.6 square miles (121 km2) is land and 0.2 square miles (0.52 km2), or 0.47%, is water.
