Manchester is everything you would expect of a typical Vermont town. Tucked between the Green Mountains and the Taconic Range, this former iron mining hub is an all-season destination. There is much to explore in this picturesque and peaceful place. The Manchester Village Historic District and landmarks such as Hildene, the Lincoln family home, offer insight into the area’s history. For outdoor lovers, there are world class golf courses and opportunities to cycle or hike the Appalachian Trail. You could also head to the nearby Mount Equinox and Equinox Pond for more outdoor adventures. Fly fishing is a popular pastime here and the town is home to the American Museum of Fly Fishing. During winter, visitors can enjoy snow tubing, skiing, and dog sledding on Bromley and Stratton Mountains. For those seeking art and culture, the town has theatres staging off-Broadway shows and there is the Southern Vermont Arts Center with its innovative exhibits. Manchester has a lively food scene and is known for its artisanal cheeses and farm-to-table specialties. There are also gourmet restaurants serving everything from classic New England fare to organic Mediterranean cuisine.
