    At this location in North Hartland, VT, you get two covered bridges for the price of one... and…read morereally, there's no money involved in seeing them, which brings me to a good point. Not only is finding covered bridges really fun and interesting, not to mention sometimes challenging with how off the beaten path they can be, it doesn't cost one penny to drive through them and view slices of history. My husband and I love it !! My understanding is that the main bridge here (the one over the brook) was destroyed after a hurricane in 1938, although it was originally built in 1870. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. The second smaller bridge, directly on land, was built in 2001.

    My visit to these Bridges was more stressful than enjoyable. I was so preoccupied in fact that…read morewhile writing this review I realized I hadn't taken a single picture but I did video crossing the bridges in my car so my photos are stills pulled from the video to help show my experience. Willard Twin Covered Bridges are basically one older historic covered Bridge very close to another newer one that was built to kind of mirror the historic structure. In theory, the idea of having the two covered bridges side by side seemed cool and like something I would want to see. In reality, getting there was kind of difficult. The location isn't well marked and I had to turn around more than once. Also, when I did eventually find them, they are much shorter and smaller than I expected, especially when you compare them to many of the other covered bridges in the area. Crossing them in my vehicle was very tight and quite nerve-wracking if I'm being honest. The narrowness and the short span of the bridge made the crossing less than charming. You're also kind of in the middle of a small residential area, so I was trying to make sure not to block any driveways or be in anyone's way. They were also really visually underwhelming and just didn't have the aaah factor that a lot of the other bridges have. If I had known how small they were and how nervous I would feel driving across them and how they're kind of situated right near houses, I definitely wouldn't go out of my way to do this again. Unless you're trying to see every covered bridge in the area, I would pass on these ones.

The…read morebuilding itself is really cool and there is a vast array of taxidermy, oddities, art, etc. I would not miss this place when passing through WRJ. They also have music, events, speakers, etc. (From the website:)The Main Street Museum is a small, public collection of curiosities and artifacts, each one is significant and each one tells some kind of story about human beings and the complex, sometimes baffling universe we are a part of. The aim of the Museum is the study of an accumulation of small details, cultivating among both specialists, and among the general public, a sense of wonder at the big questions that arise when we study and categorize objects and our reactions to them. We believe that our relationships with objects are more complex than usually acknowledged; indeed sometimes far more complex. Located in central Vermont, our collections are accessible by visiting us in person, or through our online "wiki" style catalog. As well as studying and cataloging objects we present live music, glass lantern slide presentations, vaudeville shows, films and Spectacles to the public.

    Stumbled in here with my husband and we were amazed! Not what I was expecting, a must see in WRJ. A…read moreman with a double bass sat across the street and there was a car covered in hr geiger decor parked out front.... awesome.

    My family has loved going to shows at the Lebanon Opera House for over a decade now. However, an…read moreexceptional experience earlier this month inspired me to write this review. My mother and I brought my dad, who has mobility challenges, to see The Music Man. It was his first time going to the theater in a wheelchair, and we were relieved that the space was accessible and that everyone was kind and accommodating. We were especially lucky to meet the wonderful David Schwartz, who was ushering the show. He truly went above and beyond to make the theater a welcoming and joyful place for us -- helping my dad to his seat, bringing him water, and even assisting us back to our car when an unexpected logistical problem forced us to leave at intermission. My father is still talking about his kindness! We are very grateful for his help and good humor and to the theater for many years of art and joy.

    This is a very cool old building and an awesome resource for this town. They bring in a handful of…read morefun and unique shows and occasionally some surprisingly bigger names considering the intimate space. The building itself is currently undergoing some renovations, so hopefully it will be brought into a loving level of care; last I was there the upper floors were closed for construction, the stage needed a new floor, and there was some cracking and peeling in the ceiling. A lot of the shows are largely volunteer run, so it's often a mixed group of community members ushering folks in and taking tickets. So the customer service level ends up being a bit mixed as well. But I've generally had good experiences and found everyone to be accommodating, even if it might sometimes take them a minute to figure things out. Nice spot to see a show, although it is all seating, so maybe not ideal if you want to do some dancing.
