While larger towns and cities in Vermont may gather the most tourists, there are a few smaller towns that fly under the radar. Grafton may not be known by all Vermonters, but it has everything to make it a town worth visiting. From fat bike trails and snowshoe excursions to live music and tasty grub, have yourself a fantastic weekend in this amazing winter wonderland.
