So Near, Yet So Far

vermont innSo Near everything in the Upper Valley…..So Far from the routine chain experience

Spring “college visit” season is upon us. Whether you’re planning to tour the Dartmouth College campus, visit your favorite college student, or simply explore what Norwich and nearby Hanover have to offer, you’ll discover a one-of-a-kind historic Vermont inn just one mile from campus. Here are five reasons to stay at The Norwich Inn for your Dartmouth College visit:

vermont inn1. Location, Location, Location!

The Norwich Inn’s proximity to the area’s top attractions makes our Vermont inn your ideal “home base,” regardless of the season. We’re less than a mile from the world-famous King Arthur Flour, approximately one mile from Dartmouth College, four miles from Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, and less than 30 minutes from Woodstock, a quintessential Vermont village. Our historic Vermont inn is only a minute from the New Hampshire border, the serene Connecticut River, and Interstate 91 – you’ll always be in the midst of what’s happening in the Upper Valley.

2. New Chef, New Menu, New Dining Room

Experience our dining room’s recent restoration as well as the fare of new Executive Chef Scott Liberty. Enjoy a culinary journey inside our cozy, historic dining room or the bustling Pub where our Jasper Murdock Ales are piped to the taps directly from our on-site brewery. Indulge in grilled grass-fed filet mignon, a grilled Faroe Island salmon fillet, succulent prime rib, or the wicked Whistling Pig Ale Cheddar Burger.

3. The New England Experience

Steeped in history, The Norwich Inn captures the essence of the region. Dartmouth graduate, Colonel Jasper Murdock originally built the Inn in 1797. After a devastating fire, the historic Vermont inn was rebuilt 129 years ago in 1890. The inn still exudes its original Victorian charm to go along with new lodging buildings, the Walker House and Ivy Lodge.

4. The Brewery

The Norwich Inn is home to Jasper Murdock Ales, one of the oldest Vermont breweries. Whether you’re a craft beer aficionado or just curious about the brewery’s operations, you’ll find an ale that perfectly befits your palette. You’ll also discover a wide variety of rotating taps, including a traditional English style cask ale. Each beer has its own story; many of which were first brewed for special events!

5. Free, Free, Free, Free!

We provide our guests with free Wi-Fi, parking, exercise room, and phone calls to U.S. and Canada!

🍁 Right now, the fall foliage might be the number one reason to visit the Upper Valley, but there are SO many reasons to keep coming back!

Freshly baked treats at King Arthur Baking, a stroll around Dartmouth, exploring the Montshire Museum, a visit to Quechee or Woodstock, discovering the shops and restaurants in White River Junction, catching a show at Northern Stage, or simply stopping into Dan & Whit’s to see what they have that you didn’t know you needed. 😊

And of course, we think a stay at the Norwich Inn and a meal at Jasper Murdock’s Alehouse should be on your list too! 🍺

We love calling this little corner of Vermont home, and there’s always something new to discover, no matter the season.

So tell us, what’s YOUR favorite reason to visit the Upper Valley? We’d love to hear what keeps bringing you back! ❤️

🍁⛲ 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!

Whether this is your first Family Weekend or you’ve been making the trip to Hanover and Norwich for years, we’re happy to have you back.

Enjoy the time with your students, explore the Upper Valley, take in the first signs of fall, and hopefully find a little time to stop by and see us while you’re here.

Emmitt has his Dartmouth Parent hat and tie on, so clearly he’s taking his hosting duties very seriously. 🫎💚

❤️ 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.
