Hildene, the Lincoln Family Home
Hildene, is formed from two old English words, "hil" meaning hill and "dene," meaning valley with stream. Robert and wife Mary named their Manchester home based on their view of the Taconic Mountains to the west, Green Mountains to the east and the Battenkill flowing through the great valley of Vermont below, hill and valley with stream.
Robert Lincoln built Hildene as a summer home at the turn of the 20th century. He was the only child of Abraham and Mary Todd Lincoln to survive to maturity. Robert first visited Manchester as a young man in the summer of 1864 when he came to the Equinox Hotel to meet his mother and his brother Tad. Some forty years later he returned to purchase 392 acres of land to build what he would call his ancestral home.
Cabot Farmers' Store
Located along Vermont's Route 100, the Cabot Farmers' Store is a favorite stop whenever you're in the greater Stowe/Waterbury area.
Browse our fantastic selection of Cabot products, sample our award-winning cheeses, and delight in many other Vermont specialty foods.
Trapp Family Home
The Trapp Family home in Stowe has been an iconic feature of the Vermont landscape for more than half a century. In the early 1940s, the von Trapp family toured the United States as the Trapp Family Singers and eventually settled in Stowe, Vermont on an enchanted farm with sweeping mountain vistas reminiscent of their beloved Austria.
During our visit, we'll see the Cemetery (weather permitting) for a talk on the family, walk into the hotel and to the movie room with its memorabilia. We'll also view the movie "The Real Maria."
