If you ever have had the fortunate experience to find yourself in the quaint hamlet of Barnard, VT on a crisp autumn day, consider yourself one of the lucky ones. Truth be told, it doesn’t matter in which season you arrive. Barnard has something for everyone at all times of the year.
As you approach Barnard from any direction, the Universalist Church steeple comes into view at about the same time as you encounter Silver Lake and the wonderful Barnard General Store. The lake is a spot for early morning meditation with a cup of coffee, an afternoon swim, or a paddleboard and kayak in the summer. In the winter, it becomes a center of skating and ice fishing.
