Bennington, Vermont, is about 20 miles west of Wilmington along Route 9. It's a small town with Bennington College. The Battle of Bennington Monument is still the tallest structure in Vermont, and it is said that on a clear day, you can see several states. There are plenty of shops and restaurants for a nice day trip from wherever you're staying.
The week we were in the area, they were having Moosefest. This seems to be a pretty popular theme, since many cities are now having their own animal fest. New York had a bull fest last year. It was fun walking around and enjoying the various creations of local artists. They were very imaginative and showed the local spirit, since many of them had some aspect of Vermont as a theme.

The Silo Family Restaurant, located half a mile from the entrance to Mount Snow. Very reasonable prices and excellent food. Children's menu, gameroom, and outdoor BBQ on weekends. We loved this place - we ate here three nights in a row!
Dot's Restaurant in Wilmington and Dot's Too in West Dover serve homestyle food at reasonable prices. Favorite spots for the locals.
There are other restaurants, including Italian and Chinese.
