Brattleboro Halal Travel Guide

As a Connecticut River town in southern Vermont, Brattleboro benefited greatly from the easy availability of water and water power and thus has been a prosperous town since the 18th and 19th centuries, as shown by the extraordinary collection of beautiful buildings in various styles that survive from those days and the first few decades of the 20th century. Only a very small selection of them are shown in this Travel Guide.

Travel by train to Brattleboro

The town is served by the Vermonter, a daily Amtrak train which goes south to New York and Washington, D.C. and north to St. Albans (Vermont) | St. Albans. Brattleboro station GPS 42.850885,-72.556637 is located at 10 Vernon Road, a short walk south from downtown.

Get Around

For getting around the center of town, all you should need are your feet. Amble around the streets, stop at some shops and just take your time. For getting out the town, a vehicle would be the best way to go. Be aware that traffic in downtown Brattleboro can resemble that found in city's orders of magnitude larger, in part due to a long term construction project on I-91 that causes people to leave the highway, but more due to all the major streets feeding into Main Street in the center of town. Driving within the center should be avoided and parking all day is quite affordable (under $10). If you are in the mood, though, rent a bike at the Brattleboro Bicycle Shop located downtown at 165 Main St.

What to See

  • Gallery Walk The first Friday of each month from 5:30PM Monday - 8:30PM. Shops and galleries are open and people come to see the sights. A good way to get a feel for the local residents. See the fashion show at Twice Upon a Time, a local consignment shop.
