Windsor County, Vermont
Windsor County stretches across a large part of eastern Vermont, running from the New Hampshire border toward the center of the state. The Connecticut River forms much of its eastern boundary, adding beautiful scenery to an already diverse landscape.
The county offers a mix of charming villages and lively communities. Woodstock is known for its picturesque streets and classic New England character, while White River Junction brings a more energetic feel with its shops, restaurants, and cultural attractions.
Windsor County is also closely connected to presidential history. Calvin Coolidge, the 30th President of the United States, was born in Plymouth Notch, where visitors can explore his preserved homestead and learn about his early life.
