Just east of Wilmington on the Molly Stark Trail (Route 9), Hogback Mountain offers a famous roadside view and the small Southern Vermont Natural History Museum at the top. The museum has live raptors, a hands-on natural history collection, and trails that climb to the former Hogback ski area.
A handful of antique shops, snack bars, and a gift shop cluster around the overlook — a classic 1950s-style roadside stop that has somehow survived. Best in clear weather.
