Shaftsbury

Shaftsbury is a small rural town that offers it all! Whether you are looking to live in a quaint village in the center of town where you are greeted by your neighbors and wave to the locals during your evening walks, or you want complete privacy on a quiet dirt road where your only neighbors are the deer grazing in the fields and the songbirds keeping you company during your morning coffee, Shaftsbury is the place for you.

Spend a day swimming, fishing, and hiking at Lake Shaftsbury, grab lunch at The Market Wagon and finish the day off with a trip to The Chocolate Barn for their famous homemade ice cream. Run across the road to Clear Brook Farm to grab some fresh fruits and vegetables or some new plants for the garden.

Shaftsbury’s history is evident in its many historic old homes which are still standing and well preserved. Be sure to visit the Robert Frost Stone House Museum, where the poet wrote “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” in 1922. Plan a little extra time to enjoy their nature walk trail.
