Arlington pairs river-town ease with mountain energy, set along the Battenkill where anglers wade at dawn and cyclists roll past farmsteads and the West Arlington Covered Bridge. You’re close to the conveniences and jobs of Manchester and Bennington, with the arts and dining scene of Dorset just up the road, all within scenic Bennington County.
Families appreciate a tight-knit school community supported by the Battenkill Valley Supervisory Union, which serves local learners from elementary through high school and highlights strong academics and extracurriculars. Explore calendars, resources, and student programs via the district at Battenkill Valley Supervisory Union. Weekends often revolve around the Town of Arlington events page, from seasonal celebrations to recreation leagues at local fields, and the welcoming Martha Canfield Library anchors book clubs, story hours, and makerspace activities.
Outdoor time comes easy: swim and paddle at Lake Shaftsbury State Park, hike into the ridgelines of the Green Mountain National Forest, or cast for trout on the Battenkill. Culture is close at hand, too—tour the Lincoln family estate at Hildene or browse regional art and history at the Bennington Museum. Arlington’s Norman Rockwell legacy still echoes in village greens, church steeples, and general stores, while fiber artists, growers, and makers keep the local economy creative and resilient.
