So lovely the volunteers were to make the experience enchanting. The staff who contribute to the past but in the present. We toured the fort and the outside. Highly encourage it. I returned back in to get a beautiful clay dish. That I will cherish so much. So beautifully made with love and time. The family that I purchased it from. The beautiful mom was celebrating her 86 birthday. She looked so young and happy!! All I can say is please, please go and experience and donate whatever to keep history alive. Love, Elizabeth

This is a small (emphasis on small) theatre with a tiny patio at the front entrance to sit and sip some wine and munch on some baked and other goods that are available for sale in the foyer prior to a performance. The theatre has very comfortable seats, access for the handicapped, and even some seats that are wide enough to accommodate obese patrons. There is not a bad seat in the house. The most distant seats from the stage are still able to hear the actors when they are not amplified by microphones. The front row seats require only a minimal viewing angle upward toward the stage and thus do not strain the patron's neck. The facilities are clean, including the restrooms, and the staff are friendly and helpful. The performance that we attended, "Sherlock Holmes And The Case Of The Jersey Lily," was extremely well staged by the theatre's staff, not to mention the actors. This is not a review of the play or the actors, but I must say, if this is the caliber of a typical presentation, then no performance here should be missed.

The small staff maintains several tanks of living caterpillars, that can be seen under microscopes and viewed on a large screen. The staff are thrilled to share their knowledge about caterpillars. They also have a large collection of books about caterpillars -- one that I picked up to browse was entitled, Caterpillars of West Virginia No charge to enter -- the project is carried by donations and by the sale of caterpillar related items such as jigsaw puzzles, posters, Tshirts and books The back story is that a little by named Sam Jaffe became fascinated by caterpillars, and had managed to turn his childhood passion into a passion project.

I'll visit the farm if I find myself on that side of Vermont during my travels but have only ordered by mail. You can order direct from the farm on their website or through Amazon. Don't be scared by the shipping price which isn't cheap. Most sellers include shipping costs in their base price but Ferguson does not. Total price is a fair price and competitive for mail order REAL Vermont maple syrup. Jim Ferguson is the guy responsible for this maple treat! I have communicated with him, and you can too if you have questions or wish to discus syrup with him. I don't know how big the farm is but my experience has been a personal, small farm encounter. Tasting notes: The bouquet brings fruity notes (think apple cider) and rich hazelnut. Flavor is heavenly! I'd call the roast a medium, caramelized sugar. Confectionery dark brown sugar is predominant. Good vanilla/marshmallow creaminess. It's got an excellent buttery foundation. It's really thick! This is the real stuff, not watered down! MAPLE SYRUP GRADES EXPLAINED The grade is not indicator of quality, but rather of when it was harvested during the season. In 2014/2015 the grading system was changed, probably because people confused grade "B" as lower quality than grade "A", which it wasn't. - Grade A Golden Color and Delicate Taste. Used to be called "fancy". Early season. Popular for pancakes. - Grade A Amber Color and Rich Flavor. Used to be Grade A medium and dark amber. For those that want stronger flavor. Also popular for pancakes. Late season when weather begins to warm. - Grade A Dark Color and Robust Flavor. Used to be Grade B. End of season. Mostly for cooking to impart maple flavor but this is my favorite syrup, even for pancakes.

My friend and I stopped by when we were in Manchester to do some hiking during the fall. This place was amazing. Incredible views while picking apples in a huge orchard.

The staff is incredible friendly and encourage you to "sample" the apples while picking. They have a shop where they sell apple cider, donuts, maple syrup, and some other items. I'm so glad I found this place. I will definitely be back next year!
