Gallery
Local Arts and Other Arts. Great Gallery with a nice place to eat, but check as occasionally that changes. Also Equinox Trails are accessible in the back of the parking lot.
A nice art gallery in town. Many Local Artists display their art. A great Japanese restaurant is on the premise's as well. And you can hook up onto the equinox trails afterwards for a hike.

Quaint Vermont small small town. Very pretty. Great place to hike is Merk Forest.
