A Long Weekend in Vermont: Downtown - Part 4 - Warren, Vermont, USA

Warren is a small town (population about 1700) in the Mad River valley surrounded by farms and forests and ski resorts. The small downtown features the Pitcher Inn, a fancy Relais and Chateaux member hotel and restaurant accommodation.

I'm not sure why they were flying the flag of the United Kingdom. I assume there was a special event this week.

Directly across the street from the Inn, the Warren Store offers pretty much anything a shopper could want - food provisions, deli, bakery, coffee, maple syrup, clothing, art, wine.....and a wooden screen door with a satisfying sound when it slams shut. The deli counter was very popular at midday lunchtime with at least twenty patrons in line when I visited.

Right next door to the general store, the Freeman Brook flows past before joining the Mad River and offers a peaceful and scenic spot to enjoy a drink, a snack......

.....or just a quiet spot to read a book - remember reading books?
