One of the country's most beautiful college campuses. Loads of literary and art history were made on these grounds. Be sure to check out The End of the World, grab a guidebook from the Admissions porch and tour the history markers on campus. Great walking trails, tons of performances too.

Visit the Robert Frost Stone House Museum where the famous poet wrote his most well-known poem. When you're done touring the grounds and house, head behind to hike on the trail to North Bennington or head out to Old Bennington to see his grave at the Old First Church.

The Obama's eat off these plates; their once a year annual sale has become an all weekend event; their pottery tours give you a rich sense of how the pottery, dinnerware, and bakeware is made and why everyone wants this collection. A great store and great tour.

A spectacular hike and walk around-- go through the woods or out to pasture where you'll be engulfed in mountain views and you might even end up singing: THE HILLS ARE ALIVE. Pack a picnic if you want to enjoy the views longer.

An absolute must see. This is one of the oldest general stores and it feels like you're stepping back in time when you enter. They sell everything from sandwiches to syrup, from work gloves and Carharts to local sodas and treats. Prepare to spend a little while.
