Welcome to Manchester, VT
Pack your bags and head to Manchester, Vermont! If you’re looking for the quaint, quintessential Vermont town, Manchester is the perfect destination for you. This village is small on size and big on opportunities for fun, adventure and delicious food. Snuggled into the Green Mountains, enjoy the breathtaking reds, golds and oranges during the fall and the snow-covered ski slopes in the winter. With the history and culture surrounding the town, Manchester is the perfect getaway for history buffs.
Things to See & Do
Whether you’re wanting a quiet weekend with a book by the fire with a view of the trees or you’re wanting to explore the town, Manchester is the ideal place to be. Begin by visiting Abraham Lincoln’s son’s estate, Hildene. Robert Lincoln built this grand mansion in 1905 and it was the Lincoln family home until 1975. The home and grounds are gorgeous and worth the tour.
Spend time exploring Bromley Mountain. Summer or winter, there is plenty to do on this beautiful slope. In the summer, try biking, zip-lining or the alpine slide. The winter brings a blanket of snow and perfect conditions for skiing and snowboarding.
Where to Eat & Drink
When most people think of Vermont, they think of maple syrup. Vermont is known for its maple syrup and Manchester is a great place to see the action. In the spring, watch the magic happen as you see the process of turning maple sap into syrup. You can even taste maple candies made right before your eyes.
Wander through the town and find some of the best restaurants in the country. Sample a hot-from-the-fryer handmade doughnut and locally-made apple cider. Nothing says comfort food quite like a downtown Manchester cafe, or plan a sophisticated night on the town with reservations at one of the top New England seafood spots. Needless to say, when you stay at a Select Registry bed and breakfast in Manchester, VT, you won’t go home hungry.
Best Time to Visit
Manchester is a year-round destination! Snow covers the town and mountain in the winter, perfect for skiing, snowboarding, or hunkering down by the fire with a hot cup of coffee and a stack of pancakes smothered in Vermont maple syrup. There’s nothing more beautiful than a Manchester spring, when everything comes to life with color. Summer is perfect for exploring the area, finding the best hikes up the mountain or hitting the trails on horseback. In the fall, enjoy the crispy air, the hot apple cider and the legendary New England foliage.
