Since Foliage is soon upon us, let me tell you about a great activity in southern Vermont you might like to try when you come to enjoy the fall color.

One of the best ways to see color is to catch the Green Mountain Flyer in Chester or Bellows Falls and ride on restored antique rail cars on the round trip between them. The train travels along the Williams River and the color can be wonderful. If you catch the train in Bellows Falls, it’s easy to get to Rose Arbour from Chester Depot. You can take a shuttle from Chester Depot right up into Chester Village. It swings right by Rose Arbour . Just hop off and come in for a cup of tea and some gift shopping.

If you Don’t care to take the shuttle, then drive west into Chester along Routes 103 and 11. On Route 103 in Rockingham make sure you stop at The Vermont Country Store . You’ll find wonderful souvenirs and other goods. In my opinion, this newer store is not the experience you can have at the original store, so make sure after you stop at Rose Arbour , you head on over to the beautiful village of Weston and spend at least a little time in the store there.

OK. More later.

If you have a favorite site to see in Vermont, please comment an tell us about it.
