| Autumn in New England South
from St. Johnsbury
Some of the most photographed villages of Vermont are located
southwest of St. Johnsbury. These are the picture postcard and calendar
shots. If possible, try to fit this tour into your schedule. The white
clapboard homes and white steepled churches in this area look best framed
in fall foliage from a high vantage point
You can do this tour as a day trip from St. Johnsbury or part
of your journey southwest (the Grant Tour and Highlights itineraries
described earlier follow this route) into the heart of Vermont. You might
want to spend the day photographing these little villages and then stop in
the Barre/Montpelier area overnight.
Peacham
From St. Johnsbury drive west on Route 2 to Danville and then
turn south to Harvey. If you want to add another covered bridge to your
collection, take a short detour east to South Danville where you'll find
the Green Bank Hollow bridge across Joe's Brook.
Continue south to Peacham, one of the most photogenic
villages in Vermont and probably the most photographed during the fall
foliage season. You will want to make a stop at the Congregational Church
and visit the cemetery where you can photograph the monuments as well as
the fine views.
The Topshams and East Corinth
Then continue south through a series of
pretty, picture-perfect villages including South Peacham, Groton, East
Topsham, and Topsham Four Corners. Another frequently photographed village
is East Corinth.
