There’s not much to see in Cabot—just a collection of modest white clapboard houses arranged around a general store, library, and a couple of gas pumps. If it weren’t for the presence of Vermont’s most famous cheese-maker, this is the kind of town you might drive right though without giving a second glance. But the fact that Cabot is home to Cabot Cheese makes it an instant stop on the tourist itinerary.
Events
The Northeast Kingdom’s annual Fall Foliage Festival (802/563-2380 or 800/639-6379, www.nekfoliage.com, early Oct.) is a sort of “progressive dinner” of barbecues, bazaars, and kids’ games that starts in Walden (near Cabot) and then moves through different area towns before ending with a fair in St. Johnsbury a week later.
