Windsor County

Windsor County is an administrative division in Vermont that spans roughly 977 square miles and includes 24 towns. The landscape is defined by mountains, rivers, and forests that lie between the Connecticut River and the Green Mountains.

The county was established in 1781 as the region organized its administrative structure. Woodstock was chosen as the seat of government to handle the area's official and judicial matters.

The county preserves rural traditions through museums and historical societies that document how earlier generations lived and worked. You can see these connections to the past displayed throughout the small towns and community spaces.

Interstate 91 runs north to south through the county and connects the main towns together. This highway makes it easy to reach neighboring areas in Vermont and New Hampshire.

Within this county lies the Plymouth Notch Historic District, where former US President Calvin Coolidge grew up. His birthplace and the rooms from his childhood are still preserved there for visitors to explore.
