Excellent rest stop in Sharon, VT. Highway signs let us know it's 74 miles to the next restroom,…read moreand as it was lunch time we pulled in for a picnic and walk about. The road in is newly paved and takes you around the back of the building. Big rig parking is by the highway with a pedestrian walkway up to the building. The parking lot is a fair size with no EV charging station (yet) and two handicap spaces. A small pavillion directly across from parking covers three picnic tables. Another 3 are nestled under the trees to the left. Several Adirondack style seats across the lawn overlook the road and view beyond. The grounds are beautifully landscaped. The building is small but contains a lot of tourist information on the walls, brochures to take and a volunteer to help. Hot coffee is available, two drink vending machines and one snack vending machine as well as water fountains. Clean mens/ladies rooms and two family bathrooms are located behind a display wall to the left as you enter the building. An information desk is straight ahead. This facility reclaims it's waste water and the process is open to the public in their Living Machine greenhouse area. It's very tropical with a bounty of lush, warm weather plants. Thankfully, it didn't smell like waste water in there. :) Also on site is a large Veterans Memorial, originally opened in 1982. There are several informational displays around the property regarding VT's military history. The memorial is a lovely, quiet space for reflection. A dog walking area is located on the opposite side of the parking lot with waste bags available for your convenience. Furry family members are not allowed inside the building. A volunteer was monitoring the parking area, keeping it tidy. This is a beautiful rest stop with space for kids to run, picnic areas, seats with a view, a memorial and some waste water science. If all you need is a quick pit stop they got you covered. If you have time to roam, they've got you covered there too.

Not very large and no real shade for a snooze, but the bathrooms were clean and it was easy to access. If you walk through to the rear of the building, there's a nice view of the valley to the North.

There is also the added benefit for people interested in history or the military in that it honors the Vermonters who served and lost their lives in the Vietnam War. There is a memorial that lists all of their names, and includes some additional information about that time. Additionally, there is a greenhouse garden you can walk through (although just as a heads up, it smells pretty rough in there since you're in a greenhouse. If you've ever been in one before, you'll know what I'm talking about). Overall, it is a very pretty location and there are some benches and Adirondack chairs to sit on outside for when the weather is nice. My family would stop there every year on our way up to Stowe, VT and chose that stop over others because of the Vietnam memorial since my dad served at that time. Worth a stop if you're traveling through that area!

I'd love if they added Adirondack merch too though. Lots of seating, Adirondack-style chairs to stretch your legs out on if you're taking a break from driving. There is also a kids playground and a dog area as well as a small area for everyone else to walk around. Overall, it was a great and easy stop!
