Vermont’s blend of history, craftsmanship, and beauty is best experienced on a scenic drive through its most charming towns. On this self-guided driving tour, you'll journey along picture-perfect roads, over historic covered bridges, and into the heart of the region’s artistic culture. The tour starts in Woodstock, in what’s often called one of the most beautiful small towns in America. You’ll set off towards Quechee, passing through Taftsville to see its striking red covered bridge, one of the most attractive in Vermont. From there, you’ll have a chance to browse a bounty of antiques, vintage finds, and fine art at Vermont Antique Mall and BF Southgate & Company. You’ll follow a historic route to Windsor that parallels the Connecticut River, affectionately known as the “Birthplace of Vermont.“ I’ll show you the Cornish-Windsor Covered Bridge, the longest wooden covered bridge in the United States, before you make your way back to Woodstock via West Windsor and South Woodstock.

There, we will enjoy a guided tour of the Vermont State House*, led by a dedicated guide who will share its history and answer questions. *Guided tours in the Vermont State House are only available from early July through October. The building is closed for visitors on Saturdays and Sundays. Our weekend tours will therefore admire the state house from outside, then explore downtown Montpelier by foot.
