A stagecoach stop and a fork shop

On November 27, 1761, New Hampshire’s Governor Wentworth granted Wallingford to Captain Hall and 63 associates, 23,040 acres in a tract about six miles square. The town says that size was chosen so that anyone inside it could reach market, church or town meeting and get home between the morning and evening chores. Settlers came in the 1770s, and the town was organized on March 10, 1778. Its main village grew up on Roaring Brook, a stream running to Otter Creek, and served the farms around it as a stop on the north-south stagecoach road that’s now Route 7, with sawmills, tanneries and a blacksmith. School Street, Route 140, later became a major cross street.

In 1835 Lyman Batcheller opened a pitchfork factory in the village, and it grew after the railroad arrived in 1852. The town calls Batcheller and Sons, which worked out of the Old Stone Shop, the oldest fork company in America. American Fork and Hoe, or True Temper, took it over in 1902, and the town says ash logs are still brought to Wallingford for True Temper handles. The village’s industries and its farming declined in the early 1900s, and summer visitors partly took farming’s place. Most building after 1920 went onto the side streets, leaving Main Street looking much as it did around 1900. It’s been a National Register historic district since 1984, with the town hall and the Baptist church on School Street, the Renaissance Revival library, the Italianate Odd Fellows block and the Georgian Revival True Temper Inn.

Farms of the Otter Creek valley

South of the village, Route 7 follows Otter Creek past farms that go back to the first decades of the 1800s. Nine of them, five tied to the wealthy Munson family, make up the Rural Otter Creek Valley Historic District, listed in 1987. Around 1830 a brick house with marble sills and steps went up just north of South Wallingford for General Robinson Hall, a militia officer who married Isaac Munson’s daughter Sarah and helped promote the railroad through the valley. The Hager Farm’s house of about 1800, with its regionally unusual gambrel roof, stands near the site of the first known house in Wallingford, built around 1770. The Fox-Cook Farm dates to the 1790s, and the Hulett Farm’s Federal farmhouse of about 1810 stands about a mile north of Dugway Road.

Matthew Lyon moved here in 1774, farmed and organized a militia company, served in Seth Warner’s regiment in the Revolution and later went to Congress from both Vermont and Kentucky. Daniel Roberts, born here in 1811, was a lawyer active in the abolitionist movement and president of the Vermont Bar Association. Samuel T. Douglass, born in Wallingford in 1814, became a justice of the Michigan Supreme Court. Ella Maria Ballou, born here in 1852 and schooled at Wallingford’s high school, became the official reporter of the Rutland County Court in 1885, the first woman to hold such a post in Vermont and, it’s believed, in the country. The town is also the boyhood home of Paul Harris, who founded Rotary International. Hikers reach the Long Trail, the Appalachian Trail and the Robert T. Stafford White Rocks National Recreation Area from town.
