Hi our family is travelling through Vermont mid September, is there any places we should try to see? We wondered if there was any museums that would have vintage sleds in them? We love scenery (okay I love scenery and I will be in charge of the map...so husband will have go where I tell him Thanks for any suggestions in advance.

The Alpine slide in Pico/Killington mountains. Thats fun.

I dont know where to start, But I was introduced to Als snowmobile shop this past witer, and it had some incredible stuff on display. Not exactly a museum, just lots of incredible sleds up on starage racks.

If you are in the Burlington area, during the daytime, stop at Pecor Auto Sales on Main St. in Winooski. He has @ 10 vintage sleds on display. They are mostly restored or very nice originals. It's worth the stop. And there are MALLS in the area. There is Shelburne Museum and Shelburne Farms. These both pertain to the history and culture of VT. Just down the road is VT Teddy Bear. Take a drive through Smugglers Notch in the Stowe area. Depending on the weather, you may not hit a lot of foliage colors. It's a little early.
Hope this helps. Enjoy your trip.

If you are headed north, Rt 100 right up through the center of the state is a beautiful ride. Once you get just past Waterbury, Ben & Jerry's icecream is a nice tour. The stow area and the Trapp family lodge is a beatiful place and yes, the ride up and over Smugglers notch is worth the ride as well. They also used to have an alpine slide at Stow. I haven't been there in a few years, but a little checking could tell you if it's still there. Another spot that people like to visit is Queche gorge. Very picturesque.

We appreciate all the suggestions...good job we were taking our time going thru this state...sounds like there is lots to see and do.

Can not miss Lake Willoughby and the gap. Drive up to the top of Burke Mtn then head up 5A. Lots of nice hiking trails. The Stone House museum in Brownington is worth seeing as well.

Wheres that first pic taken with the boats? Is it from the beach side next to robins roost?

Both are from the south looking north. The other one is the "famous nude" beach at the south cove.

Nude beach...why didnt I think of that...I could get my husband to drive me anywhere for sights like that..lol

Tunbridge Worlds Fair Sept 11-14

All that has been offered are awesome!
My favs
Hazen's Notch - Great road & one of my favorite snowmobile trails in the winter. Rt 58 in Montgomery.
Lake Seymour in Morgan & Little Averill Pond for kayaking. The cleanest water I have ever seen is in the Northeast Kingdom
Huntington Gorge in Huntington - Be careful but beautiful
Lincoln Gap off of Rt 116
Ap Gap - From Waitsfield to Bristol on top is sweet. Rt 17
Bently Snowflake Museum in Jericho - FREE - Rt 15 Jericho Center, Joe's Snack Bar right next door Yum
Mt Philo State Park, Drive up - nice view of the Adirondacks off Rt 7 Ferrisburg
Rt 100 from Waitsfield to Killington - Nice Waterfall!

You are coming to Vermont around peak foliage season so expect lots of "leaf peepers"...but also expect some georgous color too! You shouldn't miss the mountain road in Stowe which as someone said will take you to Smugglers Notch, a wonderful natural thing to see. They have a gondola that you can take up to the summit as well as the Alpine slide. Also, as someone said Killington/Pico has a slide too, but what might be of interest is that for a reasonable fee they offer a day long outdoor adventure package suitable for the whole family. The Cabot Creamery is an interesting tour for the kids as well as the Ben & Jerry's factory tour in Waterbury. In Jeffersonville, VT (on the other side of Smugglers Notch) you can take a family canoe trip to a local winery which is fun for both the kids and then Mom & Dad; they bus you back to your car, also very reasonably priced. As someone said the Tunbridge Fair is a wonderful true blue Vermont Fair that has many barns full of local livestock for the kids to see, also has a museum, maple exibits, etc., go during the day and you can see tractor & oxen pulls etc. There are balloon rides in Quechee but are very expensive...however, the gorge has a walking path suitable for the whole family and is very interesting, near there in Woodstock is the Raptor Center and President Calvin Coolidge State Historic Site...both very interesting and worth a visit. If your family likes the water then the Echo Center Aquarium in Burlington is perfect for the kids and you can take a cruise on Lake Champlain...then take a ride up through the "Islands" along the northern part of the lake. Oh and in Norwich, VT (eastern side of VT) there is the Monshire Museum which is a very large hands-on museum for kids. Will keep them entertained and they can touch everything! Well I could ramble on and on but I think I have given you some things to consider...have fun and enjoy!

took my daughter to most of those places when she was here for a few weeks
