Pomfret, Vermont: The Fall Foliage Town Banned Influencers

In early autumn, photographers descend on Pomfret, Vermont, to capture its autumn colours. But more than half of the cars driving through this town of 900 have out-of-state license plates and cause problems when they stop to take a picture of Sleepy Hollow Farm, one of "the most photographed places in the state". In 2022, law enforcement temporarily made the road past Sleepy Hollow one-way. In 2023, town officials closed roads leading to the farm to non-residents during the peak fall foliage season (23 September to 15 October), and plans similar road closures this foliage season.
