Chris and Nissa Petrak Direction to our Home: General Comment: People from urban and suburban areas are sometimes surprised by how "remote" Vermont can seem, especially when they are traveling at night. There are not a lot of streets. Outside of the larger towns, there are rarely street lights, and almost no 24 hour businesses. Many roads are narrow and winding (but all the roads to our home are paved), and directional signs and road signs are often small. The directions below have been written with as much care and precision as possible. Especially if you are coming at night, please follow directions carefully. We will have the barn light and porch light on. Note - Map Quest has not provided reliable directions. From the West: Please consult road maps for routes to Bennington, Vermont, then follow these directions From Bennington: Rt 9 East to Wilmington. Left on Rt 100 North. Go 4.0 miles. Turn right on East Dover Road. Go 1.0 mile. At the stop sign turn right (still the East Dover Road). Go 7.7 miles, passing through the village of East Dover and the hamlet of Brookside.
