Vermont Cultural Activities

There is a really good chance you passed this amazing local gallery on your way to Highland Lodge and didn't think twice. A beautiful art gallery featuring local artists and crafters, an extensive gift shop and boutique that is open in the summer months. Find beautiful jewelry and one of kind oil paintings here. A great way to spend an hour or two perusing.

Where do we begin... Bread & Puppet has been making waves for decades. B&P is an historic, politically-inspired puppet theatre for audiences of all ages.  With outdoor performances in the summer, their glorious puppet museum is open year-round. Check out the School Bus Art Gallery and take home their unique assortment of gifts to remember the experience forever. Their specialty is large papier mache heads and performers on stilts. The experience will surely transport you to another time and space.

Yes, THE King Arthur is located right in our very own backyard. Some come to Vermont for the foliage and the hiking; some come for their chocolate croissants and warm baguettes! Their flagship location, located in the beautiful small town of Norwich, has something for everyone (along with plenty of parking). Take a class at their state-of-the-art Baking School and watch their bakers creating beautiful breads and pastries in the bakery. Enjoy breakfast, lunch, or an afternoon coffee and dessert while relaxing in the cozy café or on the outdoor patio in the warmer months. Spend the day browsing the retail store for all your baking essentials and gifts, and sample delicious treats in our retail store kitchen, including local jams and maple syrup. While it isn't the closest stop on your foodie tour, it is great to hit on your way here or back!
