Thing To Do In Woodstock, Vermont

Several cute attractions in Woodstock will become a highlight of your journey through New England. These are some of the best things to do in Woodstock. 

Billings Farm and Museum

The Billings Farm and Museum is a fun attraction for the entire family. It’s best to visit the farm during the warmer months as it gives you ample time to stroll through the farm and visit its many attractions. Experience what it was like to operate a farm in the 1890s, from discovering the area’s history to learning about the families there. Your children are going to love meeting the farm animals, too. Don’t leave without buying a yummy snack like some of the farm’s delicious ice cream.

Gillingham’s

Gillingham’s is the oldest general store in Woodstock. It opened its doors in 1858. It’s a popular attraction for its history because it allows you to sit back in time for a moment. The store features many gifts, arts and crafts, and local products you can’t find anywhere else. 

Village Butcher Shop

Consider picking up a sandwich from the Village Butcher Shop if you need a meal. This is one of the best places in New England to grab a box lunch before a picnic. Remember to order ahead of time! Founded in 1972, the Village Butcher Shop has been serving the Woodstock community with fresh cuts of meat and delicious treats for years.

Walk Back In Time On Your Vermont Family Vacation

Woodstock is a place stuck in time and with that comes unique and fun things to do. If you have extra time in the town, stroll through it and marvel at the buildings, parks, and scenery. It’s something special, as is the Norwich area and The Norwich Inn. The Norwich Inn’s history dates back to 1797, so your well-deserved Upper Valley getaway certainly won’t be short on historical significance.

🍁⛲ A little fall joy at the Norwich Inn!

The leaves are changing, the air is getting crisp, and our fountain is still flowing… for now!

Before those chilly Vermont nights get cold enough that we have to shut it down for the season, come enjoy one of our favorite little spots at the Inn.

Take a stroll through Norwich, soak in the fall colors, stop and enjoy the fountain, and maybe stick around for a bite to eat or a locally brewed beer.

Sometimes the simplest things bring the most joy. 🍂❤️

🌧️☀️ Pouring rain and blue skies… all at the same time!

That’s fall in New England for ya! 🍁

One minute the sun is shining, the next it’s pouring, and somehow the fall colors look even better through it all.

Never a dull moment when Mother Nature is putting on her autumn show here in Norwich. 🍂

🍂 They say if you catch a falling leaf in autumn, you’ll have good luck for the next year…

Judging by the number of leaves coming down around Norwich right now, your odds are looking pretty good. 😂🍁

Fall has officially taken over the Upper Valley, and we’re soaking up every last bit of it while we can.

So get outside, enjoy the colors, and maybe try your luck at catching a leaf or two. We could all use a little extra good fortune for the year ahead!

🔥 You know what this means…

The Homecoming bonfire is going up on the Green, which means Dartmouth Homecoming Weekend is almost here! 💚

There are certain signs that fall has officially arrived in the Upper Valley, and this is definitely one of them.

The foliage is showing off, alumni are making their way back to Hanover, and another Dartmouth tradition is getting ready to light up the Green.

Welcome back, Dartmouth alumni! We’re looking forward to a great Homecoming weekend. 🔥🍁💚

🍁 Norwich was showing off a little this morning…

The colors are really starting to come alive around town, and every morning seems to bring a little more red, orange and gold.

If you’ve been waiting for that unmistakable Vermont fall feeling, it’s here.

Take the scenic route, grab a coffee, explore the back roads, stop for a local beer, and just enjoy it. This time of year never lasts quite long enough. 🍂

Come see Norwich in all its fall glory!

❤️ If you visited us this summer, there’s a pretty good chance your experience was made a little better by these two!

This summer we were lucky enough to welcome Teodora from Bulgaria and Daniela from Romania to the Norwich Inn as part of our J-1 team.

They came in with fresh energy, big smiles, and a willingness to help wherever they were needed. And we definitely put that willingness to the test! From housekeeping to the kitchen to breakfast, Teodora and Daniela jumped in and became part of our team from day one.

We’re fortunate to have an amazing team here all year long, but during our busy season, having these two here to reinforce that team was a huge help. We truly couldn’t have done it without them.

Now, somehow, it’s already time to say goodbye. 😢

Teodora and Daniela, thank you for everything you brought to the Inn this summer. We hope you leave Vermont with some great memories, because you certainly helped create plenty of them here.

You may be heading home, but you’ll always be Innmates. ❤️

Safe travels and come back to visit us someday!

🍸🥄 One of our favorite seasons is finally here… SOUP SEASON!

Morgan and Eric are certainly enjoying a bowl. 😂

Stop into Jasper Murdock’s Alehouse and see what kind of “soup” Ron or Eric can shake up for you tonight.

Served up, on the rocks, or apparently with a spoon. 🍸

🍂 You can feel the seasons starting to change at the Inn…

The nights are getting cooler, Patti’s planters are full, and little touches of fall are starting to sprinkle their way around the property. Summer hasn’t quite left us yet, but fall is definitely letting us know it’s on the way.

That blending of seasons is one of those essential New England experiences. Cool mornings, warm afternoons, the first hints of color, and evenings that have you reaching for your favorite sweater.

It’s the perfect time to come visit, slow down, and explore the Upper Valley. And if you’re lucky enough to already be here, grab a Jasper Murdock Ale, find a spot on the porch, put on that favorite sweater, and enjoy it. 🍺🍁

These are some of our favorite days of the year.

🍂💐 Tell us this week’s bouquet from Brook & Blossom Farm doesn’t say fall!

The colors are changing outside, and apparently our dining room tables got the memo too. We love seeing what arrives each week and getting to showcase these beautiful locally grown flowers throughout the dining room.

Come see this week’s bouquets on the tables, stay for dinner, and enjoy a little taste of fall in Norwich. 🍁
