- Historic sites and buildings - buildings that are in daily use, but open to visitors.
- Walking tours of historic districts.
- Antique and craft shops, and boutiques of all kinds.
- Makers of Vermont products who invite you to tour their facilities.
- Parks, pools and playgrounds.
- Natural beauty that can be explored by car, canoe or boat as well as by bicycle.
- Swimming holes and beaches, boating, fishing and camping.
- Sleigh rides and horseback riding.
- Plenty of golf courses.
- Skiing cross country and downhill and snowmobiling.
- Numerous granite monuments in Barre and elsewhere that reflect and preserve the region's heritage and ethnic diversity.
- And much more...
