Brattleboro

Brattleboro is situated between the West and Connecticut rivers, with Mt. Wantastiquet to the east and a range of 1,500-foot hills to the west, in the southeast corner of Vermont.

The town of nearly 12,000 is named after its former title owner, William Brattle, a colonel in King George II's militia. Brattleboro's economy is healthy and growing, primarily because the town has a diversified industrial and commercial base.

The lively downtown area provides a unique cultural setting with 15 galleries, many bookstores, a strong tradition of music and arts, as well as an exceptional variety of community sponsored activities. Likewise, numerous dining and shopping opportunities are available for a community of its size.

Norman Crampton in his book, The 100 Best Small Towns in America recently named Brattleboro as the fifth best small town. Brattleboro is known as the "Hub of New England" as it is adjacent to Interstate 91 and its proximity to Massachusetts in the south, New Hampshire in the east, and the recreational areas of the Green Mountains in the west.

By car it is two and half-hours southeast of Burlington and two hours from Boston.
