Chartered 1761
"Framed by the Green Mountains to the east and the Taconic Mountains to the west, this small village, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, was once home to a thriving marble company; its quarry is now a local swimming hole. Marble sidewalks lead through town, and elegant Colonial and Federal-style homes line the roads. There are scenic views galore, and everything you need in town: a general store, a fine inn, a bookstore, a lively bar, and a Euro-style bakery."
Chartered in 1761, Dorset is one of Vermont's greatest treasures. It's also an outdoor-lover's paradise! Hiking, running, mountain biking, paddling, swimming, climbing, skiing, snowshoeing - Dorset has it all, plus breathtaking mountain scenery.
