Iris Richardson Fine Art 🇩🇪🇺🇸📷
Kathy Seiler@irisRichardson There are so many great places to go here in #Vermont. Most of the main roads are passable now. Smaller, more rural roads still await repairs. What sort of things interest you all?
@DoctorK I love art created by living artists. Active art communities etc.
@irisRichardson Lots of art here! Some places that have lots of good food and some art are St. Johnsbury, Stowe/Waterbury, Middlebury and points between Middlebury and Burlington. Burlington is the largest city and always a good place to start. Lots of amazing food all over the state, and late summer/early fall is a good time for local produce if you go to local restaurants.
@DoctorK Thank you Kathy
@irisRichardson My pleasure. Hope you can make it up to our fine little state! #Vermont
@DoctorK I always wanted to visit since I saw the Bob Hope show in my teens lol.
Joseph Andriano@irisRichardson I think you may be referring to the Bob Newhart show? If so, I’ve got a treat for you: the inn that was used for filming is a real life inn that you can stay at: https://www.wayburyinn.com/newhart-connection/
If you choose that route for your trip, you’ll be in the Middlebury area. Ultimately when you go will dictate what you do. Lodging is very difficult to find during the peak foliage season, so if you can’t find a place then, my trick for visitors is to make reservations… 1/
Newhart Connection - Waybury Inn
Bob Newhart Connection For nearly a decade Bob Newhart entertained audiences with his hit TV show, Newhart. In the show, Bob and his wife decide to leave their hectic life in New York City and buy a beautiful inn in Vermont. To our delight, Hollywood came knocking at the Waybury Inn’s door. They thought that
@JosephAndriano Oh yes that is the one lol
@irisRichardson …for November. Why? Well, hear me out here. November is what we call “stick season.” There may be no leaves on the trees but it’s an absolutely gorgeous time of year. It’s cold, but not too cold, there’s no bugs, hiking is still a possibility, and most importantly you really get that cozy Vermont B&B holiday vibe that many people love. The Middlebury area has lots of great stuff. Due to the college, Middlebury has great shopping and culture. Vergennes is lovely… 2/
@JosephAndriano Great tip, since I am still recovering from Lyme disease and need to stay out of the sun until end of September, November sounds good.
@irisRichardson …with shopping and the Opera House. There’s also good historical sites like the Mt. Independence Historical Site in Orwell (my town, officially closed in Nov. but you can still walk around and read the information), easy access to the mountains up to the Ripton area. It’s a great place to visit during that time of year. Enjoy your trip!
