With busy VT Route 116 cutting through the entire length of the Town of Starksboro VT, it’s easy to miss the quiet community. Located in the most northeast corner of Addison County, this town has two distinct ‘villages’. One along Route 116 where you can find the only school, Robinson Elementary School, and the second along Route 17 in the South Starksboro/Jerusalem area. Most of the 1700+ residents are scattered among the mountainous terrain, tending to agricultural pursuits of all kinds.
You don’t have to be rugged to live in Starksboro, but it sure helps, as 90% of the town-maintained roads are un-paved. Residents of this community are tough, having one another’s backs, all while enjoying the glorious undisturbed nature all around them.
