Fall is a wonderful time to visit the Ranney-Crawford House. Sugar maples are aglow with brilliant hues of red and gold, the weather is crisp and the spicy aroma of mulled cider fills the air. It's a great time to hike, bike or drive along the scenic roads and trails surrounding our home. The Westminster West Road is said to be one of Vermont's most beautiful roads, and an excellent starting point for touring Vermont's foliage.

Autumn is Fall festival month, with every town having its own activities. There are concerts, craft shows, Morris dancing, harvest festivals and more. During this time, the Putney School holds its traditional Renaissance Fair, featuring Medieval and Renaissance costumes, music and food. Autumn is the perfect time for a romantic Vermont getaway.

"We didn't have to travel far to find the perfect fall foliage vacation, Putney - only three hours away. Who would have thought!" J. T.,, White Plains, New York

This year the annual Putney Craft Tour and Sale will be held on Friday and Saturday following Thanksgiving. Follow the signs along the Westminster West Road to visit the working studios of Putney and Westminster West artisans.
