For food, The Jordan Pond House and The Side Street Café are both excellent spots to take in the views and enjoy a delicious meal.
Woodstock, Vermont

Tourists tend to visit the Woodstock Town Hall Theatre where they can take in a show or enjoy some live music or visit the Billings Farm & Museum where they can learn about farm life.
