Southern Vermont Activities & Attractions
Putney’s personality radiates the warmth and easy comfort of a village of neighbors. We honor and value the simple richness of our agricultural land, our farming neighbors and our artists and crafters. One often hears the comment that “Putney is still living the 60’s.”
 
The center of Putney features interesting and clever shops, and the infamous original Basketville. You can shop amongst our merchants, artists and farms, or you can easily venture to the surrounding environs.
 
A formalized Putney Artisan and Craft Tour occurs twice a year, though studio browsing is a daily occurrence. We are home to the international puppetry of Sand Glass Theater. The Yellow Barn Music Festival provides enchanting opportunity for extraordinary chamber concerts in the most unique of accessible and intimate settings. Putney Village Arts offers painting workshops mentored by world famous artists. And this is but a hint of our depth as a community.
 
Our farms ship one tenth of the apples exported from Vermont. Come to pick apples or berries, milk a cow, watch the boiling of maple syrup or boutique cheese making, ride a horse. Fly fishing? We’ve got your guide for that, too. We have the trails for hiking, biking, skiing and snow shoeing. We can direct you to canoeing, kayaking, swimming in streams or even ice fishing. (And yes, shopping too.!!)
 
From The Putney Inn, it is easy to get where ever you hoped to go, and, to do whatever you dream of doing.
