Barre Town wraps almost all the way around Barre City, and its own villages are East Barre, Graniteville, South Barre and Websterville. This map prints the name Barre with North Main Street, South Main Street, Maple Avenue, Washington Street, Prospect Street and Warren Street.
Barre Town is in Washington County, and it’s a separate municipality from the city it surrounds.
KNOWOL made this map in 2026 from public survey data and gave it the look of an old atlas. The shaded terrain comes from United States Geological Survey elevation data, and the roads and the town line come from the Census Bureau. The town covers 30.7 square miles, and it had 7,923 people at the 2020 census, which its page says makes it the third largest municipality in Washington County and the 16th largest in Vermont.

One Barre, then two
The town began as Wildersburgh, granted on November 6, 1780, and taking in all of today’s town and city. The inhabitants didn’t like the name, and in 1793 they changed it to Barre. Over time much of the town’s population settled in its lower valley, and in 1895 just under four square miles of that more populated part were set off as the City of Barre, and since then the town and the city have gone on as separate governments. Barre Town runs itself by town meeting and a five-member selectboard, with a town manager appointed by the board.
Granite drove the growth. Large deposits were found at Millstone Hill soon after the War of 1812, and when the railroad came, the industry boomed and drew workers from Italy, Scotland, Spain, Scandinavia, Greece, Lebanon, Canada and other countries. Today Millstone Hill and the nearby Barre Town Forest hold a wooded trail network, with old mining holes and grout piles still scattered through the woods.
The quarry villages
Graniteville, near the town’s southern border, is home to the Rock of Ages granite company, founded in 1885, and its E. L. Smith Quarry, which its pages call the world’s largest deep hole granite quarry. Quarriers there now cut the stone with diamond-tipped wire saws and water jets, and visitors can watch them work from the company’s factory and gift shop. The quarry served as a backdrop in Batman & Robin and Star Trek, and Barre Granite from Rock of Ages was carved by Frank Gaylord into the United States Korean War Memorial at the United Nations Memorial Cemetery in Busan, South Korea. East Barre sits near the eastern border where U.S. Route 302 meets Route 110, beside the Jail Branch of the Winooski River. South Barre lies south of the city along Route 14 and the Stevens Branch, and Websterville is the fourth village.

Thunder Road and the town’s people
Thunder Road, a quarter-mile, high-banked paved track in Barre Town, was founded by Ken Squier, built with paving contractor Reginald Cooley, and has run since 1960. In its 50th season, in 2009, NASCAR legends Richard Petty and Bobby Allison paid it a visit, and the city’s page says Governor Phil Scott often takes part in its “Governor’s Cup 150.” The children’s author Katherine Paterson, winner of the Newbery Award, the poet Norman Dubie and the folk singers Lui Collins and Helen Bonchek Schneyer are on the town’s list of notable people. Barre Town Middle and Elementary School teaches students from preschool through eighth grade.
The streets printed by name on this map are North Main Street, South Main Street, Maple Avenue, Washington Street, Prospect Street and Warren Street. North Main Street and Washington Street meet at City Park in Barre City, the separate city the town surrounds.
