In and Around Dorset...

Dorset and the rest of Bennington County have attracted interesting visitors and settlers from the days of its 1761 charter. Indeed, Vermont was born in this hotbed of Green Mountain Boy activity. Today, interesting visitors and residents continue to make this an area well worth time spent here. It was the choice of Ethan Allen, Norman Rockwell, Grandma Moses, Robert Frost and Luigi Luchioni. It can be your choice, too.

Long a center for artists, actors and writers, Dorset continues to attract persons interested in the arts. From the wonderful offerings of live theatre at the Dorset Playhouse to readings by renowned authors at the Northshire Bookstore, from new monthly exhibits at the Southern Vermont Arts Center to historic talks and symposia at Hildene, you are drawn to immerse yourself in what makes Vermont vibrant.

The charming village of Dorset with its white clapboard houses and marble sidewalks transports you into a Vermont Brigadoon, a beautiful synthesis of history, tranquility and quiet sophistication. You'll leave a piece of your heart here.
