Brattleboro Vacations, Tourism & Travel Information

Overview

Located in southern Vermont not far from the Massachusetts border, Brattleboro is known for having a style completely distinct from the rest of Vermont.

Something of a hippie enclave, Brattleboro has a strong artist's community and you'll probably enjoy popping into some of the galleries on Main Street as well. Just outside of Brattleboro is the house where Rudyard Kipling wrote Jungle Book as well as several other famous works. While you can't tour the home, it is rentable and still furnished with the Kiplings' original furniture. Brattleboro is a fun, lively place, serving as a great jumping off point to the Green Mountain National Forest and the town of Bennington, some 40 miles away.
