Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Lake
Lake Willoughby
Lake Willoughby It occupies a steep valley in the north of Vermont, with water that strongly frames the surrounding reliefs. The light plays on the edges and gives an unusual feeling of depth for a lake in this area. The experience is essentially panoramic and very quiet.
Nature and landscape
Burke Mountain
Burke Mountain It is part of a hilly set of north-east Vermont, between ridge lines and wooded slopes. The site offers a setting suitable for walking altitude, with natural margins sensitive to light. It marks a more wild reading than resort tourism.
Culture and heritage
Fairbanks Museum and Planetarium
The Fairbanks Museum and Planetarium combines natural sciences, regional history and astronomical observation in the same complex. The journey allows to move from concrete objects to celestial maps, creating an unusual intellectual breath for St. Johnsbury. It is an interesting stop to connect local nature and scientific culture.
