Celebrating Freedom

Celebrate the Fourth of July in Woodstock

It’s a tradition of summer – celebrating our nation’s birthday on the Fourth of July.  Woodstock, Vermont is the place to mark the special holiday this year, and we would like to welcome you to The Jackson House Inn with a special holiday offer.  Book two nights during holiday week (July 1 – 5)  and take $50 off the room rate total, stay for three nights and we’ll take $100 off!  Best of all, if you stay on the 4th, you have a perfect seat on our bed and breakfast’s front porch for the fabulous Woodstock community firework show in one of our Kennedy rockers or wicker chairs.  The Jackson House Inn is located directly across Route 4 from the site of the event!

Enjoy an active beginning of the day by registering for the 36th Annual John Langhans Green Mile Road Race.  This 7.1 mile challenging run/walk through beautiful Woodstock, VT begins with registration on race day at 8:00 am on the Village Green for $35 (or in advance – online at Active.com for $30.00).  Walkers start: 8:30,  runners start: 9:00am.  All participants receive a free t-shirt and snacks.  Awards, live music and dancing  are sponsored by the Spectrum Teen Center.

Or, prefer a casual, stroll in the morning?  Begin the day at Billings Farm and Museum for an Old Vermont Fourth of July.  Their celebration takes visitors back in time to 1890 (the same year Mr. Wales Johnson built the original portion of our inn!) for a reading of the Declaration of Independence, a spelling bee, and historic debates to name a few events.  Visit Billings Farm from 10AM – 5PM.

The Town of Woodstock (in conjunction with Pentangle Arts Council and The Spectrum Teen Center) is sponsoring a fun-filled Fourth of July at Woodstock Union High School.  Enjoy games, picnic food (grilled hot dogs, burgers, sausages,…), live musical entertainment and, of course, the great fireworks after dark!  Walk across from the inn to the field and mingle with our community friends, then return to The Jackson House porch for a spectacular view of the show!

Happy Fourth of July from The Jackson House Inn!

Summer Comes to Woodstock Vermont, Join us at The Jackson House Inn!

Beauty in bloom at Woodstock Vermont's Jackson House Inn

Beauty in bloom at Woodstock Vermont's Jackson House Inn

The colors of spring and summer have exploded here at The Jackson House Inn and all over Woodstock, Vermont.  The air is fresh and crisp, the attractions are open, and area events are filling the calendar.  Come to a peaceful, lush retreat just off Vermont’s newest Scenic Byway – Route 4, The Crossroad of Vermont.  Just a few of the many special reasons to plan a visit:

June 17-19: The sky fills with the brightest array of colors as the Quechee Hot Air Balloon and Craft Festival takes center stage in nearby Quechee, Vermont.  As the longest continually running balloon festival in New England, the event offers beauty in the sky and in the work of many craftspeople plus great food and music.  The Jackson House Inn is just a short drive from it all!

June 25: Nature’s full splendor will be on display along the History in Bloom Garden Tour in Woodstock.  Sponsored by the Woodstock Historical Society, the day includes a floral exhibit and highlights the 250th anniversary of the chartering of Woodstock.

Billings Farm Celebrates Summer

June 1 – 30:  Celebrate Dairy Month every day at Sugarbush Farm where you can sample 15 varieties of cheese; and on Sundays, visit Billings Farm & Museum for Ice Cream Sundays.  Learn the history and science behind homemade ice-cream – lend a hand and, of course, take a taste!

July 2:  Interplay Jazz students and faculty complete their week-long jazz experience with a concert at Billings Farm (2 – 4PM).  Sit, relax and enjoy!

July 4:  Celebrate our nation’s independence all day long.  An Old Vermont 4th is scheduled at Billings Farm (10AM-5PM); a village Fourth of July celebration in Woodstock fills the afternoon and evening (4-10PM).  The Jackson House Inn‘s location offers direct view of the fireworks from our porches and yard or walk to the field for entertainment, food and fun under the show!
