With its charming village green, world-renowned Benedictine monastery, accomplished playhouse and famous Vermont Country Store, this small town packs a big punch.

Whether they come to stock up on penny candy at the Vermont Country Store or hear the monks sing in the Weston Priory, people arrive from all over the world to visit Weston. Discover southern Vermont at its finest in one of Windsor County’s most celebrated towns.

Sit back and enjoy world-class plays and musicals staged in the Weston Playhouse. The elegant white-columned building is home to the Weston Playhouse Theatre Company, one of Vermont's longest-running professional theaters.

Visit the Benedictine monks of the Weston Priory. Relax in the serene grounds, attend a daily service in the priory or plan a multi-day retreat. Time your visit to hear the monks sing they are recognized around the world for their talent. Purchase a piece of pottery created on-site by the monks.

Travel to a bygone era in Farrar Park. Known to locals simply as the Village Green, the small park is the epicenter of the town. See a band perform on the old-fashioned bandstand or relax with a picnic on the lush lawn.

Enjoy a unique shopping experience at the Vermont Country Store. It first opened its doors in 1946 and is still run by its founders, the Orton family. Browse through a plethora of unique and hard-to-find objects, from clothing to kitchenware. Walk through aisles bursting with penny candy, locally made handicrafts and more. The rustic red barn looks much the same as it did when it first opened.

In Weston, find yourself surrounded by the Green Mountains. Discover the sprawling mountain range along a network of trails snaking through town.

Visit Weston in any season. Enjoy spectacularly colored trees in the fall. In winter months, take advantage of its close proximity to seven major downhill ski areas: Bromley Mountain, Magic Mountain, Okemo Mountain, Stratton Mountain, Pico, Mount Snow and Killington. In less than an hour’s drive, transition from strolling around Farrar Park to skiing down one of the snowy mountains.
