This ramshackle barn houses a surrealistic collection of props used by the world-renowned Bread and Puppet Theater. The troupe has been performing social and political commentary with the towering (they're supported by people on stilts) and eerily expressive puppets for more than 50 years. In July and August, there are performances on Saturday and Sunday afternoons, with museum tours before Sunday shows.
Rising behind the Vermont State House and stretching 200-plus acres, this heavily forested park offers locals (and their happy, leash-free dogs) 7 miles of pretty trails and wildlife to enjoy. On its highest peak is a romantic stone tower that looks out to 360-degree views of the surrounding mountains.
