Amazing collection of toys mostly from the 1950’s to 1990’s. There’s just about everything from Star Wars to Pez, from GI Joe to Strawberry Shortcake. I especially loved the vintage space toys from the 1960’s. There’s a large train set modeled after a Vermont town and much much more. Free, with a suggested donation- it’s right up the stairs from the General Store.
If you are visiting Quechee Gorge, make a detour across the street to check this out.

Rose Art Museum is located at Brandies University, it is free and open to the public. There’s a small parking area in front of the museum which towards the back of the campus along the loop road.
The modern/contemporary collection is among the best in New England. Since Covid- they’ve been mostly spotlighting the permanent collection and you’ll find works from Frida Kahlo to Matthew Barney. A good selection of minimal and color field works as well.
It’s a great little museum to check out- a small gallery on the first floor and then some larger rooms downstairs. Plus it’s only 20 minutes from Boston. Thumbs up

Located in a little park between the mansions and the waterfront, parking can be a bit tough if you’re just stopping to see this during summer. Supposedly built by Vikings? Maybe, it’s fun to think and there are a number of other odd rune stones in the surrounding area (Dighton Rock for instance) Might just be an old grist mill or other structure but I’m not sure anyone really knows.
LOVE is Robert Indiana’s most iconic work, and where better to see it than in The City of Brotherly Love.
The Charlestown Navy Yard is the 2nd to last stop on the Freedom Trail as home to the USS Constitution. The yard also has a dry dock built especially for maintanence on the Constitution as well as a World War 2 destroyer which are all free to explore.
The Consitution is a (very) popular attraction so plan ahead in the summer months.
There’s a Constitution Museum on the grounds and you’ll find some artifacts and interactive exhibits on the history of the ship. Mostly aimed towards kids you’ll still find interesting tidbits in the museum if you are older. Admission is suggested donation, so it’s worth checking out for a few dollars if you can spare (or free)
Hidden behind an abandoned building just before the Constitution is a marker where Paul Revere landed after being towed across from the North End the night of his Midnight Ride. From the deck of the ship you can see the Old North Church and the Boston skyline.
