• Town of Addison

    The history of Addison Vermont parallels historical recounts of America itself. Originally frequented by Huron and Iroquois hunting parties, then by French exploration parties headed by Samuel D. Champlain (Vermont’s great lake namesake), it quickly became noteworthy for its agricultural potential. The town was founded in 1761, formally being settled in the 1780’s. The clay soil is well suited for hay, corn and other crops, especially those needed to sustain the thriving dairy industry found there today.
