Woodstock, Vermont
One of Vermont's prettiest villages: an oval green, a covered bridge in the centre of town, a working farm museum, a national park about conservation and Quechee Gorge down the road.

Woodstock's village green is ringed by Federal-style houses, and the Middle Covered Bridge crosses the Ottauquechee River a block away. It's as pretty as it sounds.
Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park tells the story of conservation in America, with forest trails up Mount Tom. Next door, Billings Farm is a working dairy farm and museum.
