A town that changed counties

Vermont granted Morristown on November 6, 1780, and chartered it on August 24, 1781. The town organized in March 1796 as part of Orleans County, and it stayed there until Lamoille County was organized in 1836. Elisha Boardman was its first representative in the legislature, in 1804, and Samuel Cook and Luther Bingham each held the seat for several terms in the decades that followed. Its central village, Morrisville, serves as the county’s main commercial center.

The Lamoille River flows through the northern part of town, and Ryder Brook and other streams join it from the broad valley to the south. Morrisville sits on the river, east of Lake Lamoille, a small reservoir. Several state highways come together here. Route 100 runs northwest 3 miles to Hyde Park, the county’s shire town, and south 8 miles to Stowe, and Morristown is the most populous town on the whole length of Route 100. Route 12 heads southeast 26 miles to Montpelier, and Route 15 crosses the town north of the village on its way between Jeffersonville and Hardwick. Legend says early French settlers called the river La Mouette, “the seagull,” and that a mapmaker who forgot to cross his t’s turned it into La Moulle, which became Lamoille.

The Red Bridge and the Noyes House

Out in Sterling Valley, in the southwest of town, the Red Covered Bridge carries Cole Hill Road over Sterling Brook. It was built in 1896 and is the only 19th-century covered bridge left in Morristown, and one of the last built in Vermont in that century. It’s a queen post truss, 64 feet long, sided in red-painted boards, and its unusually thick bottom chords are built up from twelve layers of planking. Steel beams were set under the deck in 1971 to carry the traffic. Overlooking the Lamoille, the Noyes House Museum is a house built in 1797, enlarged with a brick Federal addition in 1810, with an English barn from the 1820s. Its exhibits show 19th-century life in Morristown through furniture, clothing, tools, pottery and photographs, and its collection includes an 18th-century Native American dugout canoe.

Two speakers and a treasury secretary

H. Henry Powers was born in Morristown in 1835 and graduated from People’s Academy. He was elected Speaker of the Vermont House in 1874, resigned to join the Vermont Supreme Court, where he served until 1890, and then represented Vermont in Congress from 1891 to 1901 before going back to his law practice in Morristown. Leslie M. Shaw, born here in 1848, went west to Iowa, became its 17th governor, and served as Secretary of the Treasury under Theodore Roosevelt from 1902 to 1907. More recently, Shap Smith of Morristown, who represented the town in the Vermont House, served as the 92nd Speaker of the House from 2009 to 2017.
