The town under the Chin

New Hampshire granted Underhill on June 8, 1763, and the town was organized on March 9, 1795. Its eastern edge climbs Mount Mansfield, the highest mountain in Vermont at 4,393 feet. Seen from the east or west, the ridge looks like a long human profile with a forehead, nose, lips and chin. The Chin, its highest point, is in Underhill, while the Nose is over the line in Stowe. The Abenaki called it Mozôdebiwajok, Moosehead Mountain. The mountain’s English name comes from the old town of Mansfield, which turned out to be mostly mountainside once it was surveyed. The western part of Mansfield was annexed to Underhill in 1839.

The west side of the mountain has drawn visitors since the middle of the 1800s. In 1858 a small hotel called the Halfway House went up to give hikers lodging and a stable, and it stood until 1939. The state opened Underhill State Park on the west slope in 1933, and a Civilian Conservation Corps crew based there built much of it by 1940, including the picnic lodge, some of the lean-tos and the ranger station. Those buildings were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002. From the park the Sunset Ridge Trail is the most direct of four routes to the summit ridge, about 3 miles. The Browns River starts as a stream on the same slope and runs down through the park, meeting Stevensville Brook and Clay Brook just east of Underhill Center.

Two villages

The town has two villages, each with its own post office. Underhill Flats sits on the western side along Route 15 and is shared with neighboring Jericho. Underhill Center sits around the crossing of River Road and Pleasant Valley Road, nearer the mountain, and holds the town hall and offices, a small swimming pond, Casey’s Hill, the town’s sledding hill, and St. Thomas Church. Its first, wooden church was built in 1854 and 1855 to serve 63 Irish immigrant farming and logging families. After it burned in December 1890, the parish laid a new cornerstone in August 1891 before about 1,000 people. The Victorian Gothic church that followed, designed by George H. Guernsey, has a spire about 100 feet tall and a 2,900-pound bell hung in 1895.

Maple has its own place in Underhill. In 1946 Governor Mortimer Proctor gave the state the old Harvey Farm, a sugar bush since at least the later 1800s, and it became the University of Vermont’s Proctor Maple Research Center on Harvey Road. It’s the only facility of its type in the United States, and its first buildings and century-old sugar bush are on the National Register. Udney Hay, a deputy quartermaster general in the Revolution whom George Washington recommended for quartermaster general of the army, moved to Underhill in 1796 and represented the town in the state assembly from 1798. Thomas Cale, born here in 1848, studied at Bell Academy in Underhill Flats, taught school in Underhill Center and later served the District of Alaska as its delegate to Congress. Bernard J. Leddy, born in Underhill in 1910, became a federal judge for the District of Vermont.

On the map, begin in Underhill Center on Pleasant Valley Road, then find Stevensville, North Underhill, Range Road, Covey Road, Park Street, Irish Settlement Road and Poker Hill Road. Underhill dates to 1763.
