I am taking a solo trip to the NE soon for my vacation this year. I've never been to VT and will be spending a few days there as part of it.
I booked a campsite at Grand Isle and plan to hike Mt. Mansfield, other than that I have no clue what I will be doing... Any places I should seek out to visit? I like noteworthy natural features, small museums or historical sites and animal preserves/zoos best. Also, anyplace that should be avoided for any reason? I'm not really worried about safety as much as a crowded tourist trap. Thanks all! |

Sounds good!
Grand Isle is low elevation and the area can flood in heavy rain-- I hope you don't experience that. Unless you are a die hard fan in need of a tour, the Ben and Jerry's factory is sheer pandemonium in the warm months, horrible parking, mile-long lines, etc. I would avoid it. Let alone the blatant political leanings of that company. There is a military museum on route 15 in Colchester at Camp Johnson. Quite a bit of unusual things to see there and vehicles from all eras. The hours are odd but it's worth a stop if you can manage. I'll think of more, I'm sure... |

You could always swing by my Alma Mater, Norwich University: The Military College of Vermont.
The Sullivan Museum is very nice and has a lot of neat artifacts and military history pieces. Depending on when you do your visit you’ll see the rooks hating life and the upperclassmenin uniform. We usually had a parade every Friday. |
