When you think “visitor center,” you probably imagine a drab and dull building without much to offer besides a few maps and a vending machine. That’s why this visitor center in Vermont is such a hidden gem. Here’s why you should make a special trip to see the Green Mountain Coffee visitor center.

This place is unexpectedly awesome. It’s housed in the old Historic Waterbury Train Station.
