About Poultney

Set in Vermont's Slate Valley, Poultney combines classic small-town charm with easy access to the outdoors. Main Street is lined with local shops, historic storefronts, and the leafy grounds of the former Green Mountain College campus, while nearby East Poultney offers a quiet village green dating back to 1771. For recreation, you're minutes from mountain biking on the Slate Valley Trails or swimming and boating at Lake St. Catherine. It's a warm, scenic community that feels both tucked away and full of things to do.
