Peru

Peru Highlights

Yes, Vermont even has a town called Peru (quite different from the country in South America). It was originally named Bromley, but back in the day, the land grantees changed their name to Peru in hopes that the association with the wealthy silver mining industry would attract land buyers! Famous for Bromley Mountain Ski Area, also known as “Vermont's Sun Mountain'' due to its southern exposure, fabulous winter ski trails and experiences invite you to join the fun. Vermont’s Mountain Adventure Park also awaits which is home to countless rides and interactions including the legendary Triple Track Alpine Slide, Big Splash Waterslide, Giant Swing and much more. The Peru Fair, one of VT’s 10 events with 100 exhibitors, 6,000 visitors, displaying craft and artisan exhibits, is something you won’t want to miss. The 1987 film, “Baby Boom,” starring Diane Keaton was filmed here.The name ‘Hadleyville’ was used in the movie. Main Street Makery, with its energetic owner, who is constantly recreating the space to accommodate her community and their needs, is located in the community house. It is a wonderful place for all ages to gather, no matter the skill, to create and learn. Bromley’s Market, a quaint country market with a fantastic deli (plus fantastic pulled pork sandwiches, pastries, homemade food and of course, beer) would love to have you stop in. JJ Hapgoods, a restaurant and store combo, carries local merchandise with high caliber food and drink. This sounds like a great town to explore, don’t you think?
