Step into Grafton and be catapulted into history, serenity, and the true small town lifestyle. The town was revitalized in 1963 by the formation of the Windham Foundation and today, although quiet, the town and it’s residents are bustling behind the scenes. Many local businesses are alive and thriving, notably Grafton Village Cheese, MKT Grafton, The Nature Museum, The Grafton Inn which is one of the oldest operated inns in America, and more. Local is the name here with delicious farm to table meal options, a locally owned and operated sugar shack, and many historic sites. What really makes Grafton stand out amongst the crowd is it’s encapsulating beauty. From the buildings, to the homes, to the scenery and covered bridges, there are so many reasons why this is such a common tourist and event destination. Things may move a little slower here but that's how we like it, you’ll want to take your time admiring this beautiful Vermont Village.
