Vermont Country store

Ride Captain: Kjeld Schou

There’s just something about the charm of an old Country store. 

We will make our way through the stunning Green Mountains into the beautiful state of Vermont and to the one of a kind – Vermont Country Store. 

There is something for everyone here at this quaint store with a rich history, from locally handmade goods to wool sweaters straight from Ireland and everything in between. The store features an apothecary department, a Christmas department, home made fudge, puzzles, homegoods, and of course Vermont Maple Syrup and Vermont Cheese!

Or if you’re not in the mood to spend money, just come and enjoy the ambiance of strolling through the store, it’s an experience in itself. The store opened in 1946 and the original store is still used as a part of the current store. From the exposed beams and wooden floors and shelving, to the penny candies and goods in barrels, the pure rustic charm will make you slow down and feel like you took a step back in time. While you’re there make sure you take a gander at the covered bridge known as “The Kissing Bridge.” It is often asked why it is known as “The Kissing Bridge” the answer is that it stems from an old tradition from the horse-and-buggy days, when a boy would stop halfway across a covered bridge where it was quiet to give his girl a kiss. The New Year is started with a kiss from a special someone, now SpyderQuest could be as well.
