Tour Overview
Nestled in the mountains of southern Vermont, Grafton is one of New England’s prettiest villages. Come take a walk with us!
WELCOME TO GRAFTON, VERMONT
Nestled in the mountains of southern Vermont, Grafton is one of New England’s prettiest villages. Many of its beautiful and historic buildings have been restored by its residents and the Windham Foundation, so today’s town looks much as it did years ago.
Grafton’s uniqueness comes from being a real village – not a museum recreation – with its citizens being its most valuable resource. It is a vibrant community, still holding the traditional Town Meeting with participation from a wonderfully diverse population of 600 people.
Step back in history as you walk our village streets, visiting our shops, galleries and museums. Continue your walk as you step further into nature, discovering ponds, fields and streams. Linger a few days and you will experience the beauty that surrounds us in these hills and come to adore our peace and quiet charm.
This walking tour has been made possible by the Grafton Outdoor Alliance and the Grafton Promotional Association.
