Once people spend time in Vermont, they usually don’t want to leave. Why would they? Vermont is not only filled with beautiful scenery, friendly people and fresh food… It’s also one of the safest places to live in the country. We used the same criteria as Safewise and Homesnacks, which includes cities/towns that have populations of more than 5,000 people, and used crimes reported to the FBI to determine the safest place. It just so happens that the town is also filled with places to go, things to do and much more.
Without further ado, let’s take a look at Waterbury – the town that will make everyone want to drop everything and move!
- Safety first!
Flickr/Lulu Lovering Research by Safewise.com revealed that five of the safest cities in Vermont reported no murders, rapes, or robberies, and the state’s safest city/town, Waterbury, reported no incidents of violent crime at all.
- Amazing architecture.
Flickr/Don Shall Historical homes can be found all over Waterbury, such as the C. C. Warren House at 89 South Main Street. This can be seen on Waterbury’s Historic Walking Tour.
- Endless amounts of hiking.

- Ben & Jerry’s Factory.
Flickr/jpellgen We all love our maple creemees, but sometimes a big bowl of Cherry Garcia hits the spot. Don’t miss a trip to the flavor graveyard!
- You can find just about anything you could ever want.

- Locals supporting locals.
Kristin Grimes/Only In Your State Farm stands like this one are not only honor system, but they have the freshest and most delicious goods around.
- Great restaurants!
Facebook/Prohibition Pig Farm to table dining can be found all over Waterbury, and restaurants like the Prohibition Pig and Hen of the Wood are out of this world.
- Birthplace of Heady Topper.
Flickr/Alan Levine In 2003, the Alchemist first brewed Heady Topper in their restaurant which was where the Prohibition Pig now resides.
- Town spirit galore!
Flickr/Nicholas Erwin If you (like most Vermonters) love your parades and fairs, Waterbury has got you covered.
- Beautiful surroundings.
Flickr/Nicholas Erwin All this and stunning scenery? Simply wow.
