Quechee State Park | Camping at Vermont’s Famous Gorge!
>p>
Explore Quechee State Park in Hartford, Vermont, a campground near one of the Green Mountain State’s most dramatic natural features — Quechee Gorge.
In this episode of Campgrounds with The Yankee Camper, I take a look at the campground, its sites and amenities, recreation in and around the park, and what makes Quechee a convenient gateway for exploring this part of Vermont.But there’s more here than camping. We’ll visit the colorful Quechee Balloon Festival and discover the New England connection to the historic transatlantic flight of Double Eagle II. Then we’ll dig into the story of A.G. Dewey and Dewey’s Mills, including the wool industry, Civil War-era “shoddy,” and how a perfectly respectable word for recycled wool eventually came to mean poor quality.Along the way, we’ll also look at Quechee Gorge, the nearby VINS Nature Center, and some of the history hidden behind this popular Vermont destination.
If you enjoy camping, New England history, and discovering the stories behind the places we visit, come along!
