Town of Waltham

In a 2022 conversation with one of the town elders, the question was asked as to why there are no signs identifying the location of the Town of Waltham, Vermont. After pondering the question, a bit, the reply came back, “The people who live in Waltham know where it is. For the rest it is not necessary. This is a small, but special place.” Small indeed, occupying only nine square miles, with a population of less than 500.  

It’s a quiet place, with a mountain for hiking, fields for farming, back roads for walking or biking, and an overall sense of calm.  There are no stores, or gas stations, nearby Vergennes fills those needs, it’s just a small community rich in history.
