Westminster

Westminster lies beside the Connecticut River in southeastern Vermont, where wooded uplands meet the river valley near the New Hampshire border. This is a dispersed New England town rather than a compact urban centre, with the villages of Westminster and Westminster West reflecting its rural settlement pattern. In March 1775, the Westminster Massacre occurred at the county courthouse after a conflict over authority in the disputed New Hampshire Grants; the episode formed part of the political turmoil preceding Vermont’s independence. Local roads, farms and forest define the surrounding Windham County countryside.
