Vermont Town Shuts Down Back Road Due to Tourist Overload

The town of Pomfret, Vermont, has temporarily closed a popular road to nonresidents due to overcrowding and disruptive behavior by tourists seeking fall foliage selfies. The road, known for its scenic Sleepy Hollow Farm, has been congested with social media users and photographers blocking traffic, trespassing on private property, and even relieving themselves. Locals have expressed frustration with the behavior and the negative impact it has on their community. The closure aims to address safety, environmental, and quality of life concerns. Visitors are encouraged to explore other nearby attractions that can accommodate them.
