The Orleans County Historical Society owns the Old Stone House Museum and the historical village…read moresurrounding it in Brownington, VT. This museum celebrates the life and history of Alexander Twilight, an African American minister and an early pioneer in Orleans County. Besides the buildings and grounds, there is a large collection of items from the history of Orleans County. The museum hosts numerous events throughout the year for both adults and children. One of the best is Old Stone House Day in August. At the east end of the property is Prospect Hill with an observation tower. If you climb the tower, you will be rewarded with a sweeping view of the area all the way down to Willoughby Gap. There is a beautiful walk around a pasture with cows. This walk has a short section that goes through the woods. Memberships to the museum are available. Tours are available on a seasonal basis due to the lack of heat in the 1840 Athenian Hall (Old Stone House).

I'd try again and see if the next time is better.

When entering the first of the 2 theaters I went into I was excited to see very welcoming seats, cushiony, that recline a little even. Then I looked to my right so see a shorter person that was unable to even see over the seat in front of them without sitting on their feet. But this was not too big of a concern, as they had 8 minutes after the movie was supposed to start to figure out their seating position, and that was just when the movie previews started. The modern surround sound was a great addition to the previous cinema in this location, but the same small screens and lack of even a ceiling fan really detract from the viewers comfort. The second theater had the same seats as the first but were actually put in in a stadium seating fashion, making the screen visible which was much appreciated. An important note is that I have yet to see their main theater, as they had a highly anticipated film in a small theater, while a small animated film was shown in the large one, with half the audience size. The real killer for me was the lack of a refill. I wanted, very much, to enjoy this movie going experience as its the only theater in the area. This place is great for maybe a matinee where you bring your own snacks, and you're tall, and like stale air. If not I suggest putting in the extra gas money and going somewhere more people friendly.

I've been here 4-5 times now. Sometimes it's just to run in to grab a chunk of cheese and ask Tracy…read moreabout the weather for the ride back to Massachusetts. More often we spend a few hours tasting and dining at the bistro. As for the actual tasting, Tracy knows what's up. She is very easy going and incredibly knowledgeable about the products from the black snake whiskey, and eden iced ciders to the jasper Hill Farm cheese. You pay a minimal price and pick a number of alcoholic beverages to sample off the list. Tracy will arrange your choices in the order in which they should be tasted and give you the history of each as you taste. They have wine, vodka, gin, and ice cider. Ice cider is NOT a beer-like cider such as angry Orchard. It is a fancy type of distilled cider made by an elaborate process of freezing and skimming off ice which leaves a concentrated, amazing cider. It's made somewhere else in Vermont, but we learned they recently started making it in the basement of the tasting center itself. All products are Vermont made. Next we move over to the bistro and visit "pixi" the bartender. We order the shrimp and corn fritters with maple butter and the chicken liver pate with apple chutney which Mike was allowed to take home (jar, spoon, and all). I've always loved the fritters which are to die for. "Pixi" brought us extra salted triangle shaped crackers for the pate and gave us numerous samples of various drinks including Hill farmstead's new beer, "Mary" and the "Magog sunset". Whiskey shots are $6. All products from the testing center as well as maple candies, bakery items, and cheeses are available for sale at the back of the store. They even provide maps and information on all their partners. Overall, this is one of my favorite places ever. Not just in the Northeast Kingdom, not just in Vermont, but ever.

The bistro's menu seemed a bit limited and I was amazed that they were unable to produce a simple cup of hot chocolate (this is NORTHERN Vermont, after all). I was directed to the bakery (Hopefully, someone will read the definition of "Service" from a handy dictionary.) At the bakery, a bubbly young lady who somewhat restored my good humor. I hope the restaurant servers learn by her example. I declined to return to the restaurant; they might have wanted me to get the meat service from the butcher. Good point, the WiFi was excellent. Bad point, the acoustics are terrible with some sort of background music being drowned out by the few customers' conversation. I don't want to think what it would be like if the place was crowded.
