Welcome to Dorset

The pristine village of Dorset, founded in 1761 with its historically preserved town center, was home to Vermont’s first convention in 1776. Discover why Dorset is endeared by many with its traditional architecture set against the backdrop of awe-inspiring mountains. Dorset is home to beautiful landscapes, mountain views, meadows and New England charm. The Dorset Playhouse, the Vermont Summer Festival Horse Show, and the Marble Quarry bring locals and visitors from afar to enjoy Dorset’s special atmosphere and local traditions.
 
Dorset offers easy access to Stratton Mountain and Bromley for the skier, access to Manchester for the shopper but moreover, offers year-round options for those with a spirit to explore the outdoors on foot – hiking the Long Trail, road and mountain biking or kayaking on Emerald Lake. Quiet, quaint, sophisticated and at the same time accessible to adventure year round. This Stratton and Bromley area community is just 5 miles north of Manchester and one to enjoy full-time and in every season. Its numerous back roads among maple-covered hillsides will beckon you!
