Historically interesting place
Old Constitution House
The Old Constitution House is located in the small town of Windsor, which is located in the county of the same name near New Hampshire. To date, it has a very special meaning for the state – it is the birthplace of the Vermont Constitution. However, the town of Windsor is not only important for the state of Vermont, but great American history was also written in the Old Constitution House. The 1777 Constitution was the first to ban slave labor in the United States and to grant men the right to vote without owning land. The old 18th century Gregorian house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1971 and is now open to visitors.

Special buildings and structures
Pulp Mill Bridge
The nearly 60 m long Pulp Mill Bridge is a covered wooden bridge built in 1820 between the small neighborhoods of Middlebury and Weybridge in Addison County. It is the only two-lane bridge in Vermont and serves as employee access to the Shellburne Museum, which has included the nearby small Pulp Mill waterfall in Otter Creek in its gallery. Because of the heavy rainfall in Vermont, the bridge has to be renewed and overhauled regularly and is therefore often closed to rush hour traffic.
