Places to see in Vermont?

cakeyp

I'm headed to Vermont with a friend at the end of October as a post-graduation gift. I've been looking for things to do and architecture to see, but I'm starting to run short on ideas!
Does anyone have any suggestions?
We've got a full week to explore. Staying in Stowe, and planning one day trip to Burlington. We figure while we're up there, we'll also take a trek to Kahn's Exeter library, so anything to see in New Hampshire would be helpful too.

I'd highly recommend checking out bread and puppet over in glover - although check their schedule or else you'll be hanging out with their goats.

it's an honest-to-goodness hippy commune - and their theater/barn is a seriously awesome piece of folk art/architecture (especially inside).

there's also a diner in town that has excellent pancakes.

Shelburn Farm just south of Burlington. Check out the Barns!

The Zimmerman House in Manchester New Hampshire is a winner so I have been told.

Im from vermont and if youre not into barns I couldnt even tell you. Good season, theres a bunch of stuff in NH, but if youre in vt go check out smugglers notch or do some hiking. Check out the quarries! All the best stuff is outside.

Richardson library at UVM. also a trip to Montreal is only about an hour from Burlington (two from Stowe). could be worth it for a day/night.
