Windsor - The Birthplace of Vermont

Windsor appears to be a sleepy hamlet situated along the Connecticut River, about 10 miles from Leave No Trace Cabin, but don't let it fool you as it has a lot to offer in history, innovation, shopping, scenery and recreation. It is the birthplace of Vermont where the signers of the Constitution of the Vermont Republic met at the lovely Constitution House in downtown Windsor. Windsor is also the home of the American Precision Museum (americanprecision.org) which was the home of innovation in the mid-1800's. In addition there are over 40 historic buildings in the town. To cross over the Connecticut River into Cornish, NH you go over one of the most unique covered bridges in the United States. The Cornish-Windsor bridge is the longest wooden covered bridge in the United States and the longest two-span covered bridge in the world. My daughter and son-in-law are enjoying the bridge from the NH side.
  Windsor also boasts shopping, dining and sports experiences especially in an area known as Artisans Park where you can find a Simon Pearce outlet, the Silo (a Vermont distillery), Great River Outfitters, The Cheese Board and Harpoon Brewery.
In collaboration with the Windsor Public Library, Harpoon Brewery and The Cheese Board host Friday night Movies Under the Stars in the outdoor area in Artisans Park. These are Family friendly movies. Bring a picnic or purchase wood fired pizza and maple creamees. There are also ice cold beverages from Harpoon brewery available in the garden!
