Hill farms and a late start

The Vermont Legislature’s records say Vermont granted Fayston on February 25, 1782, and chartered it two days later; the town page dates the charter later and says the land was sold to a speculator. The town organized on August 6, 1805, and it was part of Chittenden County until Washington County was organized in 1811. Fayston had a small one-room schoolhouse and family farms and maple producers, and the town page credits them with its economic growth and stability.

One of those farms is on Bragg Hill Road. Knoll Farm, known for years as McLaughlin Farm, has been worked since 1804, when Rufus Barrett first farmed it; its southern exposure melted the snow early and gave it a longer growing season. Three generations of the McLaughlin family owned it from 1874 to 1935, and most of its buildings date from their time. In 1957 Ann Day and her family bought it. In the 1980s she made the farm a place of refuge for people fleeing the civil war in Nicaragua on their way to asylum in Canada, and in 1982 she signed one of the earliest conservation agreements with the Vermont Land Trust to protect the land for good. The farm was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.

Mad River Glen

Roland Palmedo founded Mad River Glen on Stark Mountain in 1947, wanting a ski area for dedicated skiers with as little commercial fuss as possible. The Single Chair first ran in 1948, and it’s still there, one of only two single chairlifts left in the country. The trails are kept much as they were first cut, narrow and lightly groomed, and Ski magazine ranked the terrain the most challenging on the East Coast. In 1995 skiers bought the mountain and formed the Mad River Glen Cooperative, and the people who hold its shares vote on how it’s run. It’s one of three ski areas in the United States that don’t allow snowboarding. The ski area was listed on the National Register as a historic district in 2012.

Stark Mountain is named for General John Stark, the hero of the Battle of Bennington in 1777. The Long Trail crosses its summit, and on the north peak sits Stark’s Nest, a warming hut for skiers in winter and an overnight lodge for hikers in summer. Burnt Rock Mountain is in Fayston too.

On the map, start at North Fayston and follow McCullough Highway, Mill Brook Road and Center Fayston Road, then find Bragg Hill Road and Sharpshooters Road. Ctr Fayston Road is printed as well. Fayston dates to 1782.
