Londonderry: Home to the Magic Mountain Ski Area, founded in 1960 at Glebe Mountain by a Swiss-born ski instructor as ‘a little corner of Switzerland.’ The small-scale area offers a more intimate, family-friendly ski experience to a loyal clientele.
Jamaica: The New York Times called Jamaica a town with a ‘distinctly funky vibe,’ whose unofficial motto is ‘live and let live.’ Jamaica’s village along Route 30 offers galleries, antique shops, lodgings, restaurants, and a beloved old general store. The annual Ball Mountain Dam release brings out the boaters.
Stratton: A timber boom town in the 1800s, is now best known for the Stratton Mountain Ski Area, which transformed it into a second-home community. It lies entirely within the perimeter of the Green Mountain National Forest, which comprises almost four-fifths of the acreage in town.
Wardsboro: A town so rural that only 16 percent of its roads are paved. The town is characterized by extensive forest areas, rural residential development, small villages, and a regional highway that passes through ski and vacation home development on the eastern slopes of the Green Mountains. Home of the state vegetable, the Gilfeather Turnip.
Somerset: The unincorporated remote town of Somerset lost 70 percent of its population between 2000 (when 10 people lived there) and 2010 (population three). The Somerset Reservoir offers recreational opportunities and free camping at sites in the Green Mountain National Forest.
Dover: The mountainous town of Dover is in the center of southern Vermont, almost equidistant from the boundaries of New York, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts. Dover is home to the Mount Snow ski area and has become a significant second-home and resort community.
Wilmington: A picturesque village surrounded by a beautiful, rural mountainous countryside, Wilmington is the hub of the Deerfield River Valley, offering a vibrant community with artists, an independent bookstore, and events in the historic Memorial Hall.
Windham: Some 93 percent of the small mountain town of Windham is made up of forestland. Within its town are important historical structures and archeological sites, outdoor recreational resources and significant scenic lands and vistas.
Marlboro: As Route 9 climbs out of West Brattleboro, Marlboro’s character shows itself in sugar houses and garden centers, hay fields and ponds. The community, once home to industry, is today a cultural and intellectual haven. Marlboro College, one of the top-rated small colleges in the country, hosts the world-renowned Marlboro Music Festival. A fall harvest fair ends a busy growing season.
Whitingham: Bordering the Deerfield River and the Green Mountains, it is the birthplace of Brigham Young, an early leader of the Mormonism faith.
Halifax: The second-oldest chartered town in Vermont. Heavily forested with multiple rivers and streams converging, the town is home to several dairy farms and serves as a bedroom community for the Brattleboro region to the east and Deerfield River Valley ski resort towns to the west.
Brattleboro
Grafton: Rugged topography and distance from commercial or resort centers have kept Grafton small. The non-profit Windham Foundation operates the Grafton Inn and Phelps Barn Pub and the Grafton Village Cheese Company. The annual Grafton Music Festival draws people from near and far.
As the first stop in eastern Vermont from the south, factory outlet shops welcome
BAthens: Don’t make the mistake of pronouncing Athens as you would the capital of Greece. Vermonters pronounce the name of this tiny town with a hard A.
Townshend: Most likely named for Charles Townshend II, a British Barrister whose Townshend Acts led to the Boston Tea Party, Townshend has a heritage that belies the quiet Vermont village’s charming, vibrant history. A picturesque town green borders Route 30 and the longest covered bridge in Vermont, Scott Bridge, spans the West River. Farms, a nearby hospital, and some light industry provide many jobs and the town offers a small but lively town center.
Rockingham/Bellows Falls/ Saxtons River: Within Rockingham you’ll find the incorporated villages of Bellows Falls, a Victorian-era industrial town that now is a commercial hub teeming with the arts, and the village of Saxtons River. Rockingham is predominantly rural and forested, but also includes densely settled residential neighborhoods, commercial centers, and several industrial areas.
Westminster: From broad meadows near the Connecticut River, Westminster rises to low wooded hills and then to the long, high Windmill Ridge. Accessible by Route 5 through Putney, Westminster is home to a diverse mix of farmers, artists, social service providers, and small-business owners. A vast network of trails into the Windmill Ridge provides four-season recreation.
Newfane: In the West River Valley, Newfane looks like the quintessential New England Village, immaculate historic buildings (including the historic county courthouses) frame the town green, the site of fairs, dances, and presentations. While a lively tourist trade motivated economic activity, farms and nurseries keep Newfane close to its agricultural heritage. Newfane is also home to Winchester Stables, an equestrian boarding and training center.
Putney: In the last century Putney saw the founding of four schools, a food co-op, an avant-garde puppet theater, a bicycling community, yarn spinnery, an annual crafts tour, a new regional performing arts space (in a historic church), and more cross-country skiing artists than there are skis. In recent years thoughtful development has reburbished the town green into a flourishing cultural center.
Brookline: Its name derived from Grassy Brook, which runs north and south through the town – Brookline is well known for its round schoolhouse built by Dr. John Wilson. (The schoolmaster, it was discovered after his death, had been the notorious highwayman ‘Captain Thunderbolt’ in his native Scotland and was in hiding).
Brattleboro: The commercial center of Windham County. There is only one.
Guilford: Before the railroad drew goods and services to Brattleboro, Guilford was the hub of the area. The town maintains its distinct character, fusing its longtime population with back-to-the-land youth and second home owners. Guilford supports several farms and a brand-new fire station as well as the Friends of Music at Guilford. Residents and tourists enjoy wooded trails and the Green River.
orrow trouble for yourself, if that’s your nature, but don’t lend it to your neighbours.
Vernon: Bordering Massachusetts and the Connecticut River, Vernon boasts the first permanent structure in Vermont, Fort Dummer, though the original structure is now under water. Farms and small businesses fill the rest of the land.
Our neighbors across the Connecticut River
Dummerston: One of the longest covered bridges in Vermont spans the West River connecting East and West Dummerston. Dances, fairs, club meetings, plays, and weddings enliven the old Grange Hall. The famous Apple Pie Festival takes place every Columbus Day weekend. Several organic dairy and vegetable farms clear what is other wise hilly and heavily forested land. Dummerston has seen a number of industries, including a granite quarry on Black Mountain, the only granite mountain in southeast Vermont.
Chesterfield, N.H., and West Chesterfield, N.H. have a history closely associated with river transportation and fishing. Spofford Lake is one of the region’s largest and oldest resorts, offering two public beaches. Following Route 9, the town provides easy access to Brattleboro and Windham County as well as to the Monadnock region.
Dominating the topography of Hinsdale, N.H. are steep valleys, through which flow the Ashuelot and Connecticut Rivers. Hinsdale borders Pisgah State Park to its east and Wantastiquet State Park to its north and offers easy access to Brattleboro and points south. The land is excellent for farming and has been a significant center of industry as well. Manufacturing has long been carried on here.
