Welcome to BigTown Vermont, a vibrant, multi-use destination in the heart of the state where art, recreation, and hospitality converge along North Main Street. Located on scenic Route 100 in the village of Rochester, just minutes from the Brandon Gap backcountry glades and central to the Velomont Trail, BT—VT is both a waypoint and a destination—an open invitation to pause, explore, and return.

HIKE
Since 2013, more than 60 miles of trails for mountain bikers, hikers, and skiers have been developed across National Forest and private lands in and around Rochester. We’re proud to be part of this effort and to support our local trail club, the Ridgeline Outdoor Collective (ridgelineoutdoorcollective.org).
