Town Profiles - Huntington

In the Fall, brilliant foliage cascades through the valley, across the foothills, and up the mountain slopes, reminiscent of a colorful patchwork quilt casually draped by a giantess. During Spring, Camel's Hump distinctive peak awaits the blooming of rare alpine flora, while the air is filled with the sweet aroma of maple sugaring. Summer brings horse-back riding, biking, hiking, fishing, and swimming in old-fashioned swimming holes. Blankets of winter snow attracts snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing aficionados to myriads of trails.

Incorporated in 1763, the town is named for Josiah, Charles and Marmaduke Hunt, three of the original 65 grantees. Although the population is small (fewer than 2,000), the heart of the community is large. Senior residents look forward to the meals program at the school and church. A community calendar keeps residents abreast of special occasions. Parents of the Kindergarten through Fourth graders that attend Brewster Pierce Elementary School are actively involved in their children's education, and their children are encouraged to participate in school activities, which include soccer, skiing, and scouting. Fifth through Seventh grades attend Camel's Hump Middle School in nearby Richmond, while Mount Mansfield High School in Jericho serves older students.

Other educational opportunities are available, as well. The Audubon Nature Center and the Birds of Vermont Museum are popular field trip destinations for school children and adults from all over the state. At Halloween, the annual Haunted Forest at the Audubon Center draws large crowds eager to experience chills and fright.

Huntington's town center reflects the Vermont mystique. White clapboard houses and brick colonials are dotted throughout the village. Though small, the library provides various programs for adults and a children's story hour.

Though rural, Huntington residents enjoy a small, caring community that is within 35 minutes of Burlington and the amenities of a larger metropolitan area. Truly, the best of both worlds.
