  • Welcome to Vermont’S Byways the Best Way to Experience Vermont Is to Travel the Roadways That Hug the Mountains and Meet in the Valleys
    www.vermont-byways.us Welcome to Vermont’s Byways The best way to experience Vermont is to travel the roadways that hug the mountains and meet in the valleys. These are the roads that take travelers through Vermont’s forests and farmland to centuries-old villages and towns that today are vibrant hubs of culture, community, commerce and recreation. Vermont’s 10 designated byways range in length from 14 miles to more than 500 miles. An exploration can range from an afternoon or a week, to an entire summer. Whatever the mode of transportation—car, motorcycle, vintage automobile or bicycle—touring byways provides visitors with front-row access to experiencing the intersection of the land, history and community. Museums, art galleries, antique auctions and curio shops seem to pop up everywhere. Trailheads, swimming holes, waterfalls, hikes and valley views are around every bend. Side excursions unearth the sublime—top notch music festivals and outdoor events—to delightfully down-to-earth country diners, farm stands, church suppers, bake sales and vibrant library programs. Themed itineraries jumpstart byway adventures. Look for these icons on each byway description for points of interest by theme. For foodies seeking local flavors,Chews & Brews puts the palate on the road to culinary delight. For those inspired by the artistic and extraordinary, Arts & Culture reveals galleries, museums, studios, and performing arts venues that celebrate the creative spirit. Vermont’s rich legacy of historic resources is as diverse as it is engaging. History & Heritage recommends everything from a 12,000-year-old Native American site to walking tours of historic villages and towns.

Now, ten years later, we have many preservation successes to celebrate from the Exner Block in Bellows Falls to the Haskell Opera House in Derby Line. All of our projects have taken much time, money and effort. But none would have gotten off the ground without the collective imaginative efforts of each and every one of you. This year’s conference "The Creative Community: Adventures in Preservation and Imagination" recognizes and celebrates how these efforts have and will continue to shape Vermont’s villages and town centers. Bellows Falls, a vibrant and eclectic community, is ideally suited to learn first-hand how the creative drive can revitalize an entire downtown. Our keynote speaker Dayton Duncan will offer an inspiring look at the effort that went into bringing the Lewis and Clark Expedition alive for public television. Our afternoon sessions offer an in depth look at community pride, cultural heritage tourism, building community centers and more. The day ends with a closing reception at the
