17 Best and Fun Things To Do In Bellows Falls Vermont


TouristWire Editors

Nestled along the Connecticut River, the charming town of Bellows Falls offers an array of attractions to its guests.

Newcomers can take advantage of the views of the river, wander around the quaint downtown area, or hit one of the many hiking or mountain bike trails in the surrounding area.

The town is also home to several cultural attractions, including a restored opera house that shows classic movies and live entertainment. The Vermont Symphony Orchestra is also known to perform there several times a year.

Another notable attraction is the Adams Old Stone Grist Mill, which still contains much of its old machinery (many of which still in operable condition!) and also houses a sizeable collection of nineteenth century tools and other ephemera from days gone by.

Of course, this is just a small sample of what Bellows Falls has to offer. If you would like to find out more, continue reading for a full list of all the attractions and activities available here
