Manchester is a southern Vermont resort town in the valley between the Taconic Range and the Green Mountains, where grand summer homes and inns have drawn visitors since the 19th century. Manchester Village, with its marble sidewalks and the Equinox resort, sits beside Manchester Center’s designer outlets, bookstores and restaurants. The town is also the home of Orvis, whose flagship store and fly-fishing school trace back to 1856, and the American Museum of Fly Fishing.
Manchester is about three and a half hours from Boston and four from New York City by car, with the last stretch on two-lane roads that can slow in winter. Flying private to the airports at Bennington or Rutland cuts the trip to a short drive, a favorite approach for second-home owners and skiers heading to Stratton and Bromley. Visitors tour Hildene, Robert Todd Lincoln’s summer estate, hike Mount Equinox, fish the Battenkill River, shop the outlets and enjoy Vermont farm-to-table restaurants.

Things to do in Manchester
When to go. Fall is Manchester’s most popular season, with foliage peaking in early October and shoppers filling the outlets. Winter brings skiing at Stratton and Bromley from December into April. Summer is ideal for fly-fishing the Battenkill, hiking Mount Equinox and touring Hildene’s gardens, and spring brings maple sugaring and quiet roads. Holiday and foliage weekends book early.
