Shrewsbury

Settled along the Mill River, Shrewsbury grew into a sparsely populated Green Mountain town in central Vermont. Wooded ridges and quiet back roads extend between Rutland and the Okemo area, with Shrewsbury Peak rising near the town’s eastern edge. Chartered in 1761 by New Hampshire governor Benning Wentworth, the community retains the dispersed settlement pattern of early Vermont, with farms, homes and forest spread among several small hamlets rather than gathered around a downtown. Seasonal drives and hiking routes bring visitors into the surrounding uplands. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of the Green Mountains and Vermont.
