Middlebury
Middlebury is so much more than a classic New England College town! Middlebury’s historic and lively downtown is an authentic place frequented by the friendly people that are fortunate enough to call it home. Ideally located midway between Burlington and Rutland (to the north and south) and the Adirondacks and Green Mountains (to the west and east), Middlebury makes a great four-season destination for a day trip or a longer stay.
In addition to the wide variety of shopping opportunities, including one of Robert Frost’s favorite bookstores, the downtown features over ten restaurants, many are located along the Otter Creek as it flows and tumbles dramatically over the Otter Creek Falls in the heart of the downtown. Three historic inns, a movie theater, the Town Hall Theater (featuring year-round music, dance, opera and plays), the Henry Sheldon Museum of Vermont History, the Vermont Folk life Center and The National Museum of the Morgan Horse are all within a ten-minute walk of the Town Green and gazebo.
More than just a college town...
