Old meeting house from the late 18th century with many original elements preserved. Very interesting and its spare decoration makes for some neat structural photography. Helpful volunteer was staffing during my visit. Free, but please give them a donation - they have much more work to do. Nice old churchyard to visit as well.

This bridge is only 44 feet long and is situated completely over land, no water, and it doesn't allow for vehicular traffic either... only foot traffic. Such a cute little bridge !

The bridge was moved here from its original location in 1970ish. It no longer goes over a river. It no longer allows vehicle traffic. It's cute to look at, but it's just kinda odd to walk over a bridge in the middle of a grassy lot.

The collection includes 18th and 19th century decorative arts and furnishings. The very friendly and knowledgeable host/tour guide was full of facts & details about both families who loved here. How cooking was done on wood fires in the fireplace. Learn about how so many "modern household conveniences" from back in the day were designed and constructed to serve a practical purpose from the materials at hand. The paintings on the walls of the drawing room were gorgeous. Depicted scenes of live in that era as well as infamous locals. The ball room up stairs was most impressive! Maintained solely by volunteers from Weston.

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.

Where is one to find access to this kind of distracting technology in the hills of, specifically, Weston, VT? The nearest open Library - in Londonderry, of course. The library was open, and the staff wonderfully helpful! The had a good supply of books, an even better supply of amazing history, and best of all, a strong and free WiFi! I published my article, and since it was raining (POURING!) when I wanted to leave, stayed to chat with the man minding the building. He was great to talk with, and offered some warm and welcoming insights to the library and area. We talked about a lot, including the Weston Priory where I was headed. If you need a quiet spot to get a good book, or just to get some things done, check out this gem.

Internet service is fast and free. Staff are lovely. This library participates in several inter-library loan partnerships in Vermont and possibly elsewhere - so if they don't have it, it's likely that they can get it pretty quickly. We went to the Geek the Library event back in May - it was great! So many folks came, and lots of interesting geeks shared their particular interests - watershed conservation, Steampunkers, mead-makers, the Stringfield Springer bluegrass group, and the pedal-powered smoothie bike were some of my favorites! Hope it becomes a yearly event. The annual booksale (usually in July) is also fabulous!
