Tour Details
2008 Departure:
4 great days, Established in 1786, the Brandon Inn is now proudly listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The Inn is truly a gem of antiquity. All of its’ 37 rooms are different, distinctly decorated with a variety of antiques-but even nicer than they looked a hundred years ago, 'cause now they even have "new-fangled" radios in each room! Located in the center of Brandon, Vermont, the Inn overlooks the Village Green in what has been called “the last real Vermont town”. |
