The character of Addison County becomes apparent just before the Monkton town
line, when modern stores and wide highways give way to farms and a country
road that's custom-made for an old MG convertible. As in so many other
Vermont towns, the general store is the heart of the matter for a visitor
and a lifeline for residents. It's a place to gas up and check the posters
and notices for news about what's going on. Monkton is one of the best
towns in Vermont for just roaming around and enjoying yourself.
