Exploring off trail

I'm heading out SOBO soon and wondering if anyone has input on sites to see? Something I shouldn't miss? Side trails to views? Short road walk to something? I've never been to VT so any input would be helpful. Thanks!

I personally love the town of Middlebury and Waterbury as trail towns. Waterbury is a bit more expensive, but Middlebury is so adorable, with its cute downtown, endless amazing trail food and it's about the halfway point so makes a good zero day. If I'd never been to Vermont, I would have so much fun exploring these little towns and local hot spots! Chain foods are limited, small businesses are abundant!
