Vermont in winter usually means snow and activities associated with snow. That’s true, but there are also plenty of cultural events and museums.
Listed below is just a sample of things to do in Vermont in winter, go to Winter Activities in Vermont for more.
I love Vermont in winter, not being much of a snow person is not a problem as I always find indoor things to do. For instance, in Southern Vermont, Bennington, there’s the Bennington Museum with its excellent collections of American Revolutionary War artifacts, furniture and paintings.
Or, if in St. Johnsbury I head to the Athenaeum to browse their extensive library or admire the many paintings of Hudson River School painter Albert Bierstadt.
In mid-Vermont, Burlington, I like to attend performances at the Flynn Center for the Performing Arts. When visiting Manchester I cross country ski at Hildene. When I feel like taking my frustrations out by kneading dough I sign up for a class at the King Arthur Flour Baking School.
Located in northern Vermont, the Jay Peak Resort averages 500 feet of snow a season. This is where I go when I’m searching for the extreme in outdoor winter activities. Of course the fact that the resort has a beautiful lounge with a gorgeous fireplace to curl up and read a book by also influences my decision.
Winter in Vermont holds something for everyone.
