The Inn at Iron Masters, on CT 44 in nearby Lakeville, can provide moderately priced lodging for $95 on weekdays, $135 on' Friday and Saturday nights, breakfast included. SALISBURY This pristine New England village is Connecticut's answer to the gracious towns of Massachusetts' Berkshire hills, just to the north across the state line. Salisbury prides itself on its beautiful inns, its good restaurants and its wealthy real estate brokers. The 23-room White Hart Inn on the village green right where CT 41 and US 44 meet, has the perfect front porch for watching the minimal activity in the town, and frilly chintz-filled rooms for $119 to $199. The dining room, called Julie's New American Sea Grill, serves all three meals. Just across US 44 is the 10-room Ragamount Inn open from May through October, which also has a good restaurant. Under Mountain Inn  is an 1.8th-century farmhouse that's perfect for a country getaway.

Rates for the seven rooms are $350 to $410 double for two nights, breakfast and dinner included. Tea-lovers will want to know about Mary O'Brien's Cbaiwalla which serves many varieties of tea, especially unblended Darjeelings (un blended teas are a tea-drinker's equivalent to estate-bottled wines, brewpub beer and single-malt scotches). Traditional accompaniments such as open-faced sandwiches, scones and shortbread are also served 10 am to 6 pm daily. Vermont Vermont is one of the most rural states in the union. We're talking rolling farmlands as green as billiard felt and littered with cows; backcountry roads where the only traffic is the local farmer's tractor; and the backbone of the Green Mountains standing tall. (In fact, the name Vermont is drawn from the French vert mOI1I, which means 'green mountain.') Vermont is small, with a population of only about half a million people.

 It has only one city worthy of the name Burlington with a population of a mere 50, 000. It's a land of towns and villages, self-sufficient in the way of the old-fashioned USA before jet planes and interstate highways. Some of its towns bear the scars of the Industrial Revolution: Once-proud 19Theentury brick factories sit by the riverside now somewhat forlorn and dispirited, recycled for storage or retail space. But many Vermont towns and villages are proud inheritors of the New England traditions of hard, honest work, good taste and staunch patriotism. Some could be virtual museums of pristine New England architecture and town planning. Vermont is busiest with visitors in winter, when its many ski slopes draw enthusiasts from Albany, New York; New York City; Boston; Hartford, Connecticut; and Montreal, Canada. But if you want to see lush green pastures, summer is the more splendid time, and fall foliage is positively glorious.
