Norman Rockwell Exhibition — Attraction in Arlington

The SUGAR SHACK is "the" place to visit in Vermont. No trip is complete without a tastey maple ice cream and fresh cider donut sandwhich or a waffle with lightly flavored maple ice cream and BURBON maple syrup drizzled on top.Kim, the owner, is a wealth of information on the process of making the maple sap magically transform into syrup. There is a decent sized shed on site that houses the mysterious device that converts raw sap into sweet flavored liquid. Sap can not been stored and needs to be cooked when collected. The Pinterest worthy reciepe and process is explained in educational details on location. Kim's husband fills each bottle by hand and secures the tops. It is a fun and educational stop for children.

The stores is filled with delicious goodies, warm hoodies - sweats -fleeces and the ever popular " I'D TAP THAT" shirt line. There are fun items for kids of ALL ages. Free hot cider greets you upon arrival, Fresh gourmet cheeses and goodies are too tempting to pass up!

Norman Rockwell was a native. Who used over 200 local residents in his famous art work. There are individual pictures of the men, women and children he immortalized with their individual stories and photos for each illustration he did.His stories literally COME ALIVE for you. The exhibit is FREE and prints and souvenirs can be purchased.Great for home schooling and field trips during these Covid times ! Picnic tables are available outside.

You will be delighted when you stop in. This is NO ordinary tourist stop during your fall foliage trek. This is an AMAZING learning experience and PURE JOY for your taste buds.

I don’t even know where to start! First: this place is a small shop tucked away and well worth the drive! Second: all of the employees were super kind and helpful! Third: the food/snacks...ok the syrup first, the dark and very dark were our favs. Absolutely amazing! Smoked cheddar was by far the best tasting smoked cheddar I’ve ever had. Maple taffy was so perfect. The maple glazed cookies were to die for, why did we only get 6?! We haven’t tried everything yet. But it all looks and smells so amazing. Highly recommend if you are traveling though or anywhere near the area make the trip here and buy some local made...

We stopped at the delightful Sugar Shack several months ago to view their Norman Rockwell display...We were impressed by the exhibit and the selection of Vermont made products...We chatted with the owner and promised her a replacent of the worn Saturday Evening Post cover...We delivered it last weekend during a foliage drive...The owner and her husband are a very hard working couple that enjoy their shop & patrons...Definitely worth a stop or a drive...Be sure to...
