Baking scones in Shirley Jackson’s house - Manchester Journal

The scent hits you the second you walk inside the original, arched doorway, a deadly combination of maple sugar and butter, maybe some roasting almonds as well… and perhaps a slight hint of gothic horror.

That’s the new pop-up business in North Bennington that takes place in the historic home of one of southern Vermont’s most famous residents, writer Shirley Jackson. The scent of fresh baked scones and pastries fills the gothic Victorian home at 66 Main St., the site of Moon Scones. This new local bakery specializes in all things scone, with a side of Italian pastry and Vermont literary history.
