Rppc, PINE GROVE FARM, DUMMERSTON, VERMONT, Snow, REAL PHOTO

Description: Dummerston is a town in Windham County, in southern Vermont. It is home to the longest covered bridge still in use in Vermont. Its borders include three main villages, Dummerston Center, West Dummerston, and East Dummerston. The town was part of the Equivalent Lands, several large sections of land given to setters in the early eighteenth century. In 1716, the town was auctioned to a consortium, which included William Dummer, lieutenant governor of Massachusetts and named Dummerston. In 1753, the town was chartered as a New Hampshire grant and renamed Fulham but when the grant was renegotiated, it reverted to Dummerston. The many brooks and streams flowing into the West River provided the area with waterpower. Dummerston had five gristmills, five sawmills, one slate manufacturer and one shop for making rakes. Raising sheep across the many hill was an important occupation. By 1859, the town had a population of 1,645 and the Vermont Valley Railroad passed through Dummerston.
