Where to stay
The Grafton Inn
92 Main Street, Grafton VT
Join us at this historic inn in the tiny town of Grafton. Call and mention the Cann/Michener wedding for special room block rates (from $249/night).
What to do
In between wedding events, we hope you’ll take some time to explore the quaint town of Grafton. Take a stroll to one of the nearby covered bridges, cool off with a dip in the inn’s swimming pond, or grab a snack/lunch at Grafton Market.
In nearby Brattleboro, check out the Vermont Country Deli for delicious sandwiches. Fifteen minutes from the Inn, the Vermont Country Store is a great place to stock up on local Vermont goods.
If you’re coming from out of town and have extra time to explore, we recommend visiting nearby Woodstock, VT (1 hr drive) and trying a delicious Maple Creemee from Woodstock Scoops. Two hours west of the Inn, Lake George, NY is a beautiful place to explore (and it’s where we got engaged!).
Let us know if you’re coming
