In Southern Vermont you will find Brattleboro, the unofficial capital of southern Vermont. Brattleboro is in the southeast corner of Vermont, beginning along Route 91, which is one of the main entry points for Vermont visitors. In Brattleboro, the atmosphere is casual, and the downtown offers a combination of coffeehouses, bookstores and the oldest health food restaurant in America.
A famous festival that draws many visitors to Brattleboro is the Strolling of the Heifers Parade and Festival, four days of good old-fashioned fun in beautiful southern Vermont, This internationally renowned event, is the Green Mountain State's version of Spain's famous running of the bulls. Thousands of cow fanciers watch 75 flowered cows show off their beauty up and down Main Street.
The village of Wilmington offers unique shopping opportunities and West Dover is home to Mount Snow for golf in summer and skiing in winter. Also, Stratton Mountain Resort can easily be reached from either corner of southern Vermont.
