Crossmolina Farm, named after a town in Ireland, is set on 40 acres off Gristmill Road. The farm’s Pizza Night and tiny general store are bringing people together in this small town.

🌲Vermont ancient roads—often lined with stone

🌲Vermont ancient roads—often lined with stone walls—can be found across the state.

🪨You might also come across tiny cemeteries, old stone chimneys and cellar holes near these dirt pathways.

🎤 In my latest podcast episode, Spencer Crispe of West Brattleboro and Norm Arseneault of Granville talk about why Vermont ancient roads still matter.

There’s so much to love about Vermont country stores.

The first time I visited one was in the 1970s. My dad took me to the Wayside Country Store on Route 313 in West Arlington to buy candy.

It still feels like yesterday. ❤️

Do you have any special memories of Vermont general stores?

Mount Tom in Woodstock is where you’ll find mile

Mount Tom in Woodstock is where you’ll find miles of trails, scenic views, wide open fields and The Pogue, a 14-acre pond.

Mount Tom is home to the Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park, the only national park in Vermont.

The mountain is also where the American environmental movement was born 161 years ago.

George Perkins Marsh noticed how the clearcut slopes of Mount Tom in his hometown changed shape every time a hard rain fell because of erosion.

In 1864, Marsh wrote “Man and Nature,”widely considered the first book of the American environmental movement.

Frederick Billings, another environmental visionary deeply influenced by Marsh’s book, later purchased Marsh’s boyhood home on Mount Tom.

Billings was determined to return his home state of Vermont to its natural, forested beauty. Billings restored much of his new Woodstock property to forestland, using progressive methods and planting primarily European tree species.

From the heart of Woodstock village, visitors can easily walk to the Mount Tom trailheads by Faulker Park from Mountain Avenue, the Billings Park trails from River Street, or the entrance of nearby the Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historic Park.

As the saying goes, a rising tide lifts all boats. That is especially true in downtown Vergennes.

The restoration and reopening of the Vergennes Opera House on Main Street nearly 30 years ago helped spark the city’s revival. Read more about the little city that could on HappyVermont.com.

What I love about place names is that they have a true story or are a mix of myth, folklore and fact.

I grew up in Manchester in an area known as Purdy Hill (near or part of Skinner Hollow but just north of Wilcox Flats). The Purdys were early settlers and farmers in town.

One member of the Purdy family sold his home on Purdy Hill to Gunther Klose of New York City, who later sold it to my parents in 1976.

Every day, I think of that house, the old barn, and the wide open fields, which my father named Tanner Brook Farm (named after a small brook).

In the early 80s, my dad installed a light blue sign for Tanner Brook Farm in front of the house along Route 7A for all to see. My siblings and I felt mortified for reasons I can’t exactly remember.

My parents sold the property decades ago when they divorced. But all these years later, my brothers and sisters reminisce about living there.

The sign my dad made is long gone. But we still call it Tanner Brook.

What a place.
