Old Round Church

The Old Round Church is worth a side trip if you happen to be in the area. Richmond is a very nice old New England town. It is pretty lively for how small it is. We went in winter and it was beautiful with snow and ice everywhere, but I believe it would be equally pretty when it’s warmer and one could wander about a bit more. There is a pretty library nearby as well and a nice truss bridge.
It is closed in winter (after October?) so we’ll have to back for a better look.

A great place to visit for an historical experience in Vermont.

The Old Round Church in Richmond is a scenic spot for a wedding– and everyone seems to know it. In the summer, if you drive through Richmond between 10am and 4pm you will nearly always see vestiges of wedding.
Because the Church is not a practicing church (there are no weekly services) they do as many as three weddings there a day on Saturdays and Sundays May-​October. The up side of this is that your date is unlikely to be fully blocked out. The down side to this is that you have little buffer on either side of the ceremony to decorate and un-​decorate the building.
The inside of the church is well-​restored and if you’re into a super-​new-​england-​yankee aesthetic, you’re in for a treat. It’s unique inside and out and the views of the surrounding mountains outside add to the ambiance.
Another tiny set-​back (but not enough to knock a star off in my opinion, there are too many great things about the space) is that those Yankee Protestants of the early 1800s were by an large a lot smaller than we are today, so the pews can be a little tight for larger (or pregnant) guests.
Also, it’s BYO — officiant– so you can have the scenic, yankee, vermonty setting in a church and you can have your ceremony be any denomination you want… or none. Fab.
