Springfield

Springfield is located just off Interstate 91, approximately 140 miles southeast of Burlington in southern Vermont, near the confluence of the Black and Connecticut Rivers. Springfield, with a population of just under 10,000 is the largest town in Windsor County.

Vermont's oldest schoolhouse, Eureka, was built here in 1785 and is authentically reconstructed on the outskirts of town. Education in Springfield continues to be ranked high in the state. During the 19th century, many machine tool companies and manufacturers located along the banks of the Black River to take advantage of its hydro-electric potential. In the first half of the 20th century, Springfield witnessed an extraordinary period of inventiveness as parent companies spawned and encouraged others. Soon the name "Precision Valley" was applied to the Springfield area.

Today Springfield faces new challenges as it seeks to revitalize its downtown area, build a new Technical Education center, play "host" to a correctional facility and proceed with several innovative community development initiatives.
