We chose Bliss for our wedding venue, and even though our wedding day is yet to come, I already…read morecould not be happier that we did. This is not only due to the Vermont beauty and magic of the place; it also due to the property owner, Jordan Von Trapp. From the minute we met Jordan, her warmth, enthusiasm, and experience was clear. Throughout the wedding planning process, she could not have been more helpful, or made us feel more assured or excited about our wedding day. Any challenge we encountered in the process (none with her), she helped us sort out instantly, and her creativity knows no bounds. She is always fair and client-centered in her decision making, never pushy, and always personable. And her attention to details is astounding; for instance, when we first met and were talking flowers, I told her casually that I wanted to get tulips for the ceremony to honor a loved one who had passed. Months later, unprompted, she told me that she saw tulips at the grocery store during the month we were going to be married, to let me know they were seasonal. Planning a wedding is tough, but not when you have Jordan on your team; I can't stress enough how important having such an experienced venue owner/wedding coordinator all rolled into one has been for us, because unexpected things (COVID!), do happen along the way. She also knows everyone in the biz, and will give you the honest inside scoop. Her excellence is to the point that every single person I spoke with during the planning process was singing her praises, to an extent that it was almost annoying: it was so frequent and so gushing, and nothing new...I know how great she is, as does everybody else (LOL). It is also noteworthy that this is my first yelp review ever. Can't say enough wonderful things about her and about this place!!!

Step back a hundred years and imagine life in Burlington in the late 19th century. What was shopping like? What sort of vehicles traveled here? What were people wearing? Where were they heading? The marker reads, "This impressive Italianate-style commercial building with a massive five-foot tall cast iron cornice was historically known as the Exchange Block. Designed by local builder William Townsend, the building was intended to stylistically complement the former Vermont Life Insurance Company building adjacent to the east on Main Street, which was completed in 1877 and also constructed by Townsend. The first occupant of the Exchange Block was E.P. Shaw, who owned a fashionable men's clothing store in the corner storefront. On May 27, 1962, a fire destroyed the third floor of the northerly section of the building; it was never rebuilt." [Review 18511 overall - 110 in Vermont - 2033 of 2022.]

Are you seriously calling the Underground Railroad a myth!…read more Currently in the tour, even when I asked for clarification, the tour guide denied the network and organization of the underground railroad. I have a graduate degree in history and have visited Underground railroad homes in Kentucky and Ohio and the information the guide is giving is counter to history. She also said the family stopped supporting slavery and in the same breath said they made ships...USED for the slave trade!!! Which means they still made their wealth through slavery. This is the most disappointing historical house I've visited and for an abolitionist home, I expect more than a slavery apologist giving false history to the masses. Even southern homes in Alabama provided a more realistic truth. Underground Railroad was coined BEFORE the Civil War (in Kentucky). There WERE indeed hideaways in house (my hometown has houses with them still today). The Underground Railroad was relatively organized at the time. Communication, lights in windows, extractors, etc. Please visit Rugby, Ohio. Read some books. Get a history degree.
