This emerald-green swimming hole was America's oldest marble quarry before springs flooded it in the 1920s; now you swim and cliff-jump off smooth white ledges right on Route 30 in the southwest corner.

A short, forested loop trail in the Green Mountain National Forest near Hancock leads past a chain of cascades tumbling through a mossy, sculpted gorge — the quiet central-Vermont waterfall.
Pull over on the Molly Stark Byway between Wilmington and Brattleboro for the famous "100-mile view" sweeping across Vermont, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts, best at sunset or peak foliage.
In a barn outside Glover in the Northeast Kingdom, this self-service museum runs earnest, oddball exhibitions devoted to the pencil, the safety pin, even dust — turn the lights on when you walk in.
Just west of Brattleboro, an 1879 covered bridge with a rare covered pedestrian walkway bolted onto one side in 1920 — a quick, easy stop on Route 9 with a small twist of history.
A two-story 1860s barn in Glover crammed floor-to-rafters with the towering papier-mache puppets and masks from decades of radical political pageants — eerie, free, and open daily in the Northeast Kingdom.
