Poultney is a small town located in the southwestern part of Vermont with a population of about 3,000 residents. It was established in 1761 and played a part in the American Revolutionary War. Additionally, this small Vermont town is home to many historical buildings. This has led to The East Poultney Historic District and the Poultney Village Historic District being placed on the National Register of Historic Places. When you visit this charming and historic small town, I think it’ll be hard not to feel like you’ve stepped back in time.

Poultney started as a small area surrounded by a mill and has transformed over the years.
