Activities/Attractions: While you’re enjoying the striking colors in our region, we hope you are able to take some time to see some of the other sights in Southern Windsor County. Windsor is the Birthplace of Vermont. And, the restored Old Constitution House looks much like it did more than 200 years ago. Just down the street is the American Precision Museum, which houses exhibits celebrating the manufacturing heritage of the Precision Valley. Across the road is the longest covered bridge in our country, the Windsor-Cornish Covered Bridge. Windsor is also the home of the Vermont State Craft Center at Windsor House, which is also right on Main Street.
Chester is known for its historic Stone Village and lovely village green. Nearby is the Chester Art Guild featuring the work of talented local artists. Ludlow’s the home of the Black River Academy Museum as well as the Fletcher Farm School for the Arts & Crafts. During a lazy afternoon guests can use one of out many Adirondack chairs for reading next to the brook or on the back lawn looking out over the meadow. One of out favorite resting-places is on the teak bench next to the lily and gold fish pools. For those inclined there are miles of open fields or wooded acres to explore.

"We've been to several B&B's over the years throughout the states. This one is by far one of the absolute bests. While in the area, once you've come here, you will never go anywhere else. The owners are charming. The food and service is top of the line. Every time we come, we bring different friends, and no one, and I mean no one, has a complaint, just raves. Everyone sleeps like a baby. Their cat is even there to welcome you and she too makes you feel right at home. We recommend this B&B without a doubt."
General Information: Welcome to Whitney Brook Bed and Breakfast in Proctorsville, Vermont ... where Joshua Parker Green built this original Vermont farmhouse in 1871 on 120 acres at the confluence of Whitney Brook and Twenty Mile Stream. Today, the house and attached outbuildings are basically the same configuration as they were in 1871. Several hundred acres including neighboring properties surrounded the house making it a private and quiet location. Whitney Brook, for which our B&B is named, begins several miles away and passes next to the house emptying into Twenty Mile Stream.
