Harwich becomes Mount Tabor

New Hampshire granted this town on August 28, 1761, under the name Harwich. It organized on March 13, 1788, and sent John Stafford to the legislature that year as its first representative. On November 7, 1803, it took the name Mount Tabor. Gideon Tabor held the seat in 1795, from 1798 to 1801, and every year from 1803 to 1813.

Half of the village of Danby lies in the west part of Mount Tabor, along Route 7 on the west side of Otter Creek, and the census counts the village as one place split evenly between the towns of Danby and Mount Tabor. Otter Creek is the longest river entirely inside Vermont, running about 112 miles to Lake Champlain. Danby village was settled around 1800, grew with marble quarrying from the 1840s and the arrival of the railroad in 1851, and most of its buildings stand on marble foundations. The Danby Village Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983, is centered on Main Street where Mount Tabor Avenue meets it, with 83 buildings, most of them Greek Revival.

Wilderness and the Long Trail

Griffith Lake, a small lake and campsite on the Long Trail and Appalachian Trail, lies in Peru and Mount Tabor in the Green Mountain National Forest. The Green Mountain Club keeps a caretaker there in the busy season to look after the tent platforms, the lean-to and the trails. From Griffith Lake, at its eastern edge, the trail crosses the Big Branch Wilderness to Ten Kilns Brook. The wilderness was created in 1984 and enlarged in 2006, and the highest summit in that wilderness is the mountain called Mount Tabor, 3,043 feet, at its south end. Big Branch and the neighboring Peru Peak Wilderness both lie within the Robert T. Stafford White Rocks National Recreation Area, renamed in 2006 for the former governor and senator.

On the map, start at South End, then follow Brooklyn Road, Seasonal Forestry Road, South End Road, Troll Hill Road, Griffith Hill Road and Bam Road, and look west toward Danby. Big Mud Pond, Griffith Lake and Little Mud Pond are printed. Mount Tabor dates to 1761.
