West Rutland

West Rutland is best known within Vermont for the West Rutland Marsh, the state’s largest freshwater marsh. This broad wetland complex lies in the Otter Creek valley and includes open water, cattail marsh and wooded swamp, a distinct contrast to the Green Mountains farther east. Marble quarrying also shaped the town’s past: West Rutland formed part of the Vermont marble industry that supplied building stone far beyond the state. Its small-town centre is close to Rutland, while the marsh protects an expansive lowland habitat.
