MANCHESTER
Manchester anchors the North Shire just as Bennington does the south.
The town lies at the base of 3,807-foot Mt. Equinox, the highest peak in the Taconics.
Manchester has been a vacation destination since the mid-1800s. Once a summer retreat, it is now a four-season leisure center.
It’ s home to a superb golf course, a legendary trout stream( the BattenKill), and the Lye Brook Wilderness with its woodsy hiking trails.
Robert Todd Lincoln’ s historic home, Hildene, is perched on an escarpment overlooking the Valley of Vermont; don’ t miss the fully restored Pullman car, queen of the railroading era and a stop on Vermont’ s African American Heritage Trail.
