Manchester, Vermont is a New England town nestled in the Green Mountains within driving distance of New York and Boston that draws in city-dwellers looking for a getaway. But its breathtaking scenery, outdoor activities and art culture also make it a great place to set down roots – and the quaint community says new members are welcome.
Chartered in 1761 and named after Robert Montagu, 3rd Duke of Manchester, the town of roughly 4,200 people has an extensive park system, ample shopping, and is located near the Stratton Mountain Resort and Bromley Ski Resort.
