Main Street Springfield follows the Black River with Comtu Park overlooking the Comtu Falls, where you must check out the giant close pin. Right next to the park is The Copper Fox an upscale yet comfortable farm-to-table restaurant with some of the best craft cocktails in the area. Shannon’s Upscale Resale is an incredible women’s boutique with fashions changing seasonally. The Springfield Co-Op has you covered if you are stocking up for your camping trip, grabbing a breakfast sandwich, or shopping for dinner. The Co-Op also has a selection of locally made foods and crafts, which are great gifts for the family or pet sitter back home. Another excellent place for Vermont arts and crafts is the Gallery at the Vault (yes, it is in an old bank vault). The Gallery is a Vermont Certified Craft Center and is not to be missed.
