One of the most picturesque historic
villages in New England. Situated in the hills and valleys
in Central Vermont, it is the site of the floating bridge
which spans Sunset Lake. A popular spot for fishermen and
swimmers in the summer; the ice cutting harvest
festival
is held here in the winter. Brookfield boasts about having
the states oldest continually operating library dating
back to 1791. Visitors will find a number of horse, sheep
and dairy farms open to the public and they can stay at
Birch Meadows Inn or Allis State Park campground.
Brookfield is a longtime favorite area for cross country
skiers, bicyclists, hikers, horseback riding and cart
driving. The townspeople ask visitors to drive slowly so
as not to interfere with these activities.
