Grafton is one of the prettiest villages in Vermont. Many of its beautiful old buildings have been lovingly restored by its residents and the Windham Foundation, so what you see today looks much like it did years ago. Grafton’s uniqueness, however, comes from being a real town - not a museum-like town - with its citizens being its most valuable resource. It is a vibrant community, still holding the traditional Town Meeting for government, with participation from a wonderfully diverse population of 600 people. Come walk our village streets. Picnic by a covered bridge. Visit our shops, galleries and museums. Linger a few days and you will see the beauty that surrounds us in these hills and feel the peace and quiet charm.
