Irasburg

Pittsford

Flickr/James Walsh The bridges in Pittsford are full of history, and perhaps the most famous fact is about the Hammond Covered Bridge. This bridge was built in 1842 and is most famous for being washed off its foundation in 1927 and floating a mile downstream. Later that year it was re-floated on barrels and towed back to its original site.

Woodstock

Tunbridge

Flickr/James Walsh Tunbridge is home to the annual World’s Fair, as well as several covered bridges, including the Mill Bridge which has a sign that reads “One dollar fine for a person to drive a horse or other beast faster than a walk or drive more than one loaded team at the same time on this bridge.”

covered bridge tour in Vermont July 07, 2020 Luke What are the most unique towns in Vermont?  Montpelier, our state capital, is a fascinating and unique city in Vermont. In fact, Montpelier is the smallest U.S. capital city with roughly 8,000 inhabitants. The city is interesting due to its small-town charm, lack of big box stores, and position within the surrounding mountains and wilderness. Another unique town in Vermont is Barre. With granite quarries and odd marble statues, this place is a particularly unordinary town in Vermont. The city is also composed of four small unincorporated areas. For more information on the unusual and unique town of Barre, check out this article HERE. Is Vermont a great place to live? A thousand times YES! Not only does Vermont have beautiful landscapes and endless nature spots to explore, but the Green Mountain State also has excellent food, safe cities, great schools, and friendly locals and down-to-earth people. Vermont is also an environmentally aware place that focuses on healthy living styles and social and environmental awareness, which all makes Vermont a welcoming and prosperous place to live for everyone. What is the most scenic town in Vermont? There are many, many idyllic and quaint towns in Vermont that it’s rather quite hard to list which town is the most scenic, but if we had to create a list, the five most scenic towns in Vermont would certainly contain these towns: 1. Manchester; 2. Woodstock; 3. Grafton; 4. Stowe; 5. Shelburne. O course, there are several other scenic towns to visit in Vermont that should be on the list, but you have to end it somewhere.
