WWHS Program: Walking Tour of Sheddsville

  • West Windsor Historical Society 1023 Vermont 44 Brownsville, VT, 05037 United States (map)

This tour will take people on a short stroll along what was the original village of the West Parish of Windsor. While only a few of the old buildings from that time still exist, visitors will be able to compare old photographs and stories with the view from today. Sheddsville and Windsor villages were the two original settlements of Windsor in the 1700s and Cemetery Rd was part of the main thoroughfare between the county seats of Windsor and Rutland. Ann Danna will lead the tour, with the help of Karen Diop, who will guide groups from Sheddsville Cemetery.

There are three options for parking on Cemetery Road.
1) If you want to spend some time before or after the tour in Sheddsville Cemetery, go ahead and park alongside or in the Cemetery. Karen will meet you there.
2) Another option for parking is at 873 Cemetery Road (also known as the former Harriet Hilts place), which is diagonally across the road from Cowshed Trail and partway down the hill to Sheddsville village. You can park on the circular driveway or even on the grass. Walk up the slight rise to the end of the cemetery and join Karen and the others there at 2:00.
3) Finally, if you are physically impaired and not able to walk the hill between the village center and the cemetery, park alongside the road at the junction of Cemetery and Sheddsville roads and Ann Danna will meet you there.

We encourage hats and water bottles, since we don't know what the weather will be like.
