3. Brattleboro:
Brattleboro located at the confluence of Connecticut and the Nishikawa was originally occupied by the Avenaki tribe, but the Fort Drummer (Fort Drummer) built by William Drummer of the Massachusetts Bay colony in 1724 )
They fought with the French in the French War and the Indian War, moved to Quebec province the following year. At that time the structure has changed to a trading post for friendly minorities remaining behind. Nevertheless, during this period often a momentary peace was resolved from 1744 to 1748, encouraging the occupation of the military.
Later to Colonel William Blatt (Boston) in Boston, the surrounding area, designed to be a New Hampshire Grant, was chartered as the first town of Vermont the day after Christmas in 1753 It was.
A settlement began from the fort, the first store in the area in 1771, the first post office in 1784, the first Connecticut bridge in 1804. Due to the force brought by the whetstone, Brook's waterfall quickly increased paper, flour, wool paper mill, paper machine, carriage maker, two machine plants, four printers. It is the home of the Estey Organ Company for more than a century. The Massachusetts and Vermont Valley railroads subcontractively promoted commerce, trade and travel with New England.
The current "Brattleboro" spell was adopted in 1888.
Today, cities are synonymous with art. In addition to numerous roads, exhibits are displayed at 50 locations in the street on the first Friday of each month, and the artists themselves feature gallery walking programs exhibited with live music. Each number corresponds to the description, location, and route of the guide issued monthly.
Maintaining the settlement of the town is a more permanent Brattleboro Museum of Art and Art Center located in downtown opposite the Marlborough University graduate school at the former Union Station. Original ticket window behind the "title ticket gallery" of the appropriate title.

One of the recent exhibitions, "Ray Ruseckas," near New Home: New Pastels "proposed the artistic perspective of the area, as its title suggests.
Marita Williams, curator of the museum, said, "Ritcheck is the hilly terrain of the Connecticut River Basin, the forests and woodlands, taking the land and inspiration of Ray Rousecass is refined tone and contrast light and dark , He (he) produces a splitting effect between psychological anxiety, what is seen and what is suggested.
Another recent exhibition, "Threaded Dances" by Debra Birmingham, likewise features surreal effects.
"(Her) picture is enigmatic like a landscape wrapped in fog," Williams wrote. "The white sky covered with pearls from blue to gray, or the space almost not buried in the air is escaping time and space.
Recent exhibitions such as Jim Dine's "People, Places, and Things", Anne and Michael Spater "Art + Computer / Time" digital art collection, Rodrigo Nava's three dimensional swelled sculpture "Expanded Forms".
The art may be interpretable at least literally through the construction of the "Nautical Jewel" beyond the Naulakha family of Rudyard Kipling - Hindi in nearby Dummerston. Because his grandchild was native to the area, it was used as a home in 1892 as one of the 17 National Historic Buildings in Vermont.

I absolutely ban it not to touch. Why do not you sit on the desk and soak in Kipling's bath? "
Except for art, South Vermont is often equivalent to its covered bridge and Brattleboro is no exception. Constructed in 1879, located on Route 9 's Gilford Street, Creamery Covered Bridge, 80 feet wide and 19 feet wide, spreads to The Whetstone Brook. A grid-like truss of wood and stone slabs on both sides are made of spruce material supporting the abutment, which features a 5.5-foot wide flat sidewalk added in the 1920's. It is the only such structure visible from Route 9 and is the only one in Brattleboro's symbolic structure to survive.

A century and a half later, visitors will have the opportunity to experience the true New England atmosphere back in time, while maintaining blacksmiths and cabinet shops.
"The uniqueness of Grafton is not a recreation like a museum, but a citizen is the most valuable resource, it is a real town boasting a wonderful population of 600 people."

Today is Molly Stark tonight I am sleeping the widow. "
In this event, she did not have to step in the scenic byway that crowned her name, but it is related to the fame of several Vermont provinces, such as Ethan Allen, Moses, Grandma, Robert Frost .
It will be the threshold for Green Mountain National Forest. In 1932, 399,151 acres of New England and Acadia forest ecosystems established to manage fierce logging, floods and fires are located in Bennington, Addison, Rutland, Wyndham, Windsor and Washington County.

The growth of the town and population was caused by a series of intense events such as river improvement in the 1830s, construction of the railway network at the end of the 19th century, devotion of the Molly Stark trail of the 1930s.
On the main street (route 9 and the trail itself) there are typical Vermont villages such as quilts, crafts, antique shops, restaurants, church spiers.

In 1779 he was transferred to Captain Abner Perry of Hollisn, Massachusetts, and was appointed Prime Minister Thomas Chittenden, the newly formed Vermont Republic, and in the following year West Dover and the East Dover's counterpart began as Wordsborough's town. But after the petition to split it succeeded, it evolved into Wardsborough and Dover after the action of the legislative parliament of 1810.
As the season of the summer charms of travelers attracted to local farms in the early 1900's, the winter opponents, Walter Seanneknecht of East Huddam, Connecticut, innocent Ruben Snow farm, I have Mount Snow ski resort.
Demand quickly turned the lodge's talent to many of today, along with the shops, restaurants, and motels lined up necessary to support the influx of sports enthusiasts.
Route 100, which took the way to that point literally, replaced the original dirty artery that was sleeping in its early days. Except for cars, even in the small Deerfield Valley airport, winter tourists visit.
When you reveal buildings such as Saul Mill Farm in Indiana, West Dover Inn, Snow Mountain Market, Lodge etc and approaching the entrance of Mount Snow, West Dover's purpose is surprisingly handsome.
According to "Vermont Southern Deerfield Valley Visitor's Guide", "West Dover (self)" is one of the most wonderful examples of the same historical district of Vermont. The entire district, which consists of 20 buildings built between 1805 and 1885, is part of the national historical register.

Bennington:
Bennington at the western end of the Molly Stark trail has abundant sightseeing spots in particular.
After being chartered by New Hampshire governor, Benning · Wentworth in 1749, it was awarded a grant from the town, the soil and hands of the original 20 settlers changed from the ground to the rural areas, which was ground corn, but mechanized Was done in the form of a grain factory on the east side of the Walloomsac River and in the western sawmill, and the population has soared to 1,500 just 4 years after the settlement was established.
Nail Cutting Forge, foundry, blast furnace, blacksmith and paper mill have expanded this expansion.
Today, the drive past the city of Route 9 / Molly Stark Trail leads to several important attractions. The Bennington museum is its first thing.
Established in 1852 as a Bennington Historical Society established in commemoration of a fierce battle a few miles beyond the border of New York, the accredited museum in Vermont province models all the creativity of Vermont province throughout history It will serve as a place of vision and entertainment enriching the community and the world. "
Even buildings that contain it are historically important. It was built between 1855 and 1892 with the first St. Francis de Salas' Catholic church and was built by Native Stone and recognized by the Bennington History Museum in 1928. The subsequent expansion and intermittent name change are the current Bennington Art Museum, the history museum in southern Vermont with a diverse collection from the early 18th century to the present age. It features American folk artist, grandmother, the most extensive collection of Moses paintings.
In 13 consecutive and changing exhibitions, "Vermont in gold-plated time reflects industrial boom", "Bennington's modernism", "Work on paper", "Regional artist gallery" etc. Yes.
The town was defined in many respects by Bennington's simple battle. It is interpreted by Bennington Battlefield State Historic Site which is the next charm and it is a short drive by Route 9.
Many diverse reasons and circumstances burn the spark of war throughout the history. Consumables, or at least the urgent need for them, has precipitated this.
By the end of July 1777 the British invasion was aimed at regaining control and was led by General John Burgyne and reached Fort Edward in the east of Glens Falls. However, the food flow required to ensure the movement from Canada through the Mohawk Valley to New York City, including animals, wagons and beef, was trickled down.
The governor advised Lieutenant Colonel Friedrich Baum that the store in Bennington was not protected, so he decided to redirect his garage to Vermont and New Hampshire instead. However, the Vermont State Security Council recruited about 1,500 New Hampshire men under the support of the Vermont army under Seth Warner and John Stark under the onslaught of pending onslaught.
The conflict threshold was a hill overlooking the Wolomo Samuk River five miles from Bennington, not Vermont, where Stark sent the defense army on August 16, 1777, two days after the UK reached it.
Despite the fact that early gun battle promoted immediate surrender of Indians, Canadians, and Trees, the Britain himself himself wrote with their ground and the American who Stark said later "one continuous applause of thunder" We held a two-hour conflict. Death of hill and baum. When the last puff of gun exhaustion disappeared, 40 Americans died and 30 people were injured, while 200 Britons died and 700 were captured.
The Battle Memorial of Bennington is in the highest structure of the supply reservoir and state, the Vermont State Assembly established the Bennington War Memorial Museum Association in 1873, the Bennington Historical Society Land has 112,000 people, civilians, Vermont, New Hampshire The actual structure created by the state, Massachusetts state, Congressional state.

Guided tours up to 421 steps are also provided on a regular basis.
While a small monument celebrates Seth Warner, the commander of the Green Mountain Boys who helped kill the British during the Second War, the original warehouse of the battlefield, the target, a gift shop that occupies the exact location of the catalyst, tickets You can purchase.
Another important Bennington's sight is the nearby Old First Church.
Affected by the "Great Awakening" in Connecticut and West Massachusetts, the local separatists started early on December 3, 1762, in the early pine structure in the center of today's church and village We gathered at the place.
Built in 1805 by the architect Lavius Filmore, the thirteenth president of the country, the church itself, the cousin of the colonial architecture features the full pine trunk that was planned manually in the pillar. It is used for European counterparts, both lower and upper, the latter being used for visitors and young church members.
The second, more extensive project implemented between 1994 and 1999 added the current white and red appearance, but the poet Robert Frost has been working with a box and a high pulp in the renovation ceremony After repairing the 1937 renovation, "The Black Cottage" paint gray coat. The interior also paid attention to marble staircases, underground beams, roofs, bell towers.
Frost was not himself, but I purchased two family burial places in the adjacent cemetery.
Arts is a short distance from the first church in the center of Bennington of art at Bennington and was built in 1994 by a local philanthropist Bruce Laumeister and his wife, Elizabeth Small. Since then I have achieved the goal of bringing world-class art to New England residents and visitors.
Native American paintings, bronzes, carpets of Nava show, potted plants, Katina dolls, etc. have been drawing attention from the time at the multi-gallery venue that is expanding. He is active in various fields such as American Plein Air Painters, American Watercolor Association, New England Watercolor Society, United States Coalition Art Museum, American Women's Art College, American Pastel Association, Park Art. It is the only museum on the east coast to borrow the California Art Club.
The center is the first venue in the world devoted to preservation, understanding and interpretation, with a covered bridges museum (brightly painted red painted in 2003) completed in 2003. They are essentially Vermont himself.
The exhibition is reinforced by a practical railway layout that draws area covered bridges, focusing on design, engineering, construction, history, computer workstations that can experience films, building technology, and area covered bridges.
According to Henry · Wadsworth · Longfellow, it connects the riverbank and provides a hanging passage for pedestrians, bicycles, horses, vehicles, electric vehicles.
Everywhere in Vermont, real things are not far from the museum. Drive North 7 north, then turn left and proceed to Northside Drive (itself will be west 67 A) and Silk Road leading to the 88 ft Silk Bridge across the Walloomsac River.
Once Murphy Road and a two-mile drive began, the Paper Mill Village Bridge appeared in spite of being the original 2000's alternative made by Charles F. Sears in 1889 I will.
Finally, the Henry Bridge, 1.3 miles beyond the intersection of Murphy and River Road, is another reconstruction building built in 1989 on behalf of the original riot in 1840.
8. Shraftsbury:
At the Robert Froststone House Museum there are stones and timers built in 1769 and are located on 7 acres of land in South Shraftsbury (Route 7 & Exit 2).
文学的なランドマークで、それは1920年から1929年まで住んでいたフロストの家で、ピューリッツァー賞を受賞した最初の「ニューハンプシャー」の詩で、「雪の降る夕暮れで木が止まる」彼が一晩中目を覚ました後、1922年6月の暑い朝の部屋のテーブルで、別のプロジェクトで働いていました。部屋全体がこの努力に捧げられています。
「博物館のガイドによれば、「森の中で止まる」という部屋は、この詩に全面的に捧げられています。それは、それが書かれた方法、手書き原稿のファクシミリ、論争の的となっているカンマ、メーターと韻の演奏、批評家が詩について語ったこと、フロストがそれについて語ったことなどが挙げられます。
霜やリンゴの木々、畑、林、石の壁、木の木々、樹木から自分が植えた赤い松まで、フロストがそこに住んでいたので、周囲は本質的に未知のままなので、訪問客はインスピレーションを吸収することができます。
