Why Live in Brownington

Brownington, located in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom, is a rural area characterized by its scenic mountains, lakes, and outdoor recreational opportunities. The neighborhood is known for its historical significance as the home of Alexander Twilight, the first Black college graduate in the United States, with a museum dedicated to his legacy and the history of Orleans County. Residents enjoy a slower pace of life with homes on expansive acres, ranging from ranch and farmhouse styles to Colonial Revivals and custom builds, some dating back to the 1800s. Outdoor enthusiasts can explore Brownington Pond for fishing and boating, or venture to nearby Lake Willoughby and its surrounding state forest for hiking. The area features farmstands like Millers' Amish Baked Goods and Rooty's Apple Orchard, providing fresh, local produce and baked goods. Dining options include The Gap Pub and Grill near Lake Willoughby and the Carriage House Cafe & Grill in the village of Orleans, 4 miles away. Education is served by Brownington Central School and the highly rated Orleans Elementary School, with students progressing to Lake Region Union High School. Interstate 91 offers convenient access to broader Vermont, with Newport and Derby just 15 miles away. While Brownington enjoys a peaceful rural setting, it is important to note that flooding has occurred in Orleans County, with the most recent incident in 2024.
