Middletown Springs - a Great Place to Live!
Middletown Springs is a quiet, scenic, and rural town, situated 15 miles southwest of Rutland. It is a vibrant and mutually supportive community!
Our picturesque town was officially founded in 1784 when citizens of the towns of Ira, Poultney, Wells, and Tinmouth petitioned the Vermont legislature to create a new town bounded by the ridges that prevented them from attending meetings and worship services in their original towns. Defined by the encircling mountains, Middletown Springs became one of Vermont’s uniquely shaped communities. At 23 square miles, it is slightly smaller than the average Vermont town, but boasts an enormous sense of community spirit and civic engagement.
Over the years, our population has waxed and waned, and today about 800 residents make up our close-knit rural community. Our rich history as a production center and resort destination continues to lend character to the town. Nearby lakes, rivers, and mountains offer plentiful opportunities for outdoor recreation.
With a classic town green, our town’s general store, post office, public library, and town office building provide the perfect venues for casual chats and other activities, from fundraising dinners to deer-hunting pools. Families appreciate our excellent elementary school and secondary school choice. Sullivan Woods and the Mineral Springs Park welcome residents and visitors alike.
The Volunteer Fire Department, Friends for Education, Historical Society, Conservation Commission, and Friends of the Library actively serve the community, providing a number of activities and events that enrich our community life. Volunteering for any one of them is a great way to connect with others who call Middletown Springs home.
