Our local tour guide takes us on an adventure to explore the beauty, charm and history of this idyllic resort town. After time for lunch in town, we visit the Trapp Family Lodge known for its stunning alpine architecture and mountain views, reminiscent of Austria. Our 1.5-hour History Tour offers a guided look into the von Trapp family's journey from Austria to Stowe that inspired the film, The Sound of Music. You'll get to see family photos, movie posters, and memorabilia, watch 'The Real Maria' documentary, and enjoy a Q&A session with Kristina von Trapp Frame.

The Museum’s 45-acre campus is comprised of 39 buildings amid 22 beautifully landscaped gardens. Among the most beloved attractions are the Shaker design Round Barn, a General Store, a carousel, and the 220-foot steamboat Ticonderoga.
