Right in the middle of the business district in Bellows Falls is this community bookstore, which…read morealso sells add-ons like calendars, datebooks and literary novelties (we liked the "banned books" bracelet a lot). The selection has a nice if not terribly deep mix, and there's a good group of books for young adults and children. We also liked the good choice of books about Vermont and New England. The staff was friendly, and we have the sense they are very much involved in their community, which we strongly applaud. We found some paperbacks we wanted and were pleased to see the store was busy during our visit. We'd endorse a stop here for anyone in the neighborhood.

I always find a must-have delight, from spending once hundreds of dollars to one for only $8. Note: this is my favorite store; CALL to make sure they are really open. They will say, "Do you not understand every day?" But my antique-loving holiday heart is broken, as yesterday and today, the shop is closed. I am hoping so very much it is a flight delay because of weather, for the drive is beautiful and well worth the time it takes to find the happiness only a true wonder of a shop such as this can give me! (or anyone else, better than therapy) Just check to be safe!

This village is an absolute gem! The community is very involved and we got to chatting with a few…read morelocals. Everyone was very friendly and happy to share local points of interest and community events. Their "Welcome to Bellows Falls" sign states the village was established in 1792. Old brick buildings are in great condition. What looks like an old factory on the river's edge has been converted to apartments. Town hall is now an Opera house with two theater companies utilizing the space, plus showing classic movies. A lovely book shop, two coffee shops, a diner, breakfast and lunch cafe, lounge, hardware store, antique shops, vintage clothes stores. All this and more on the main road through town. A small, easily missed road by the tattoo shop leads diwn to a Grist Mill museum, walking path and labyrinth. A small brown sign points the way. We pick up a small flyer in one of the shops that lists points of interest in the area and took a stroll through town. Wish we had more time to stay and explore this piece of American history. So happy we stumbled upon this thriving VT village. Get out and wander! There are gems to be found.
