ABOUT THE STRAFFORD TOWN HOUSE
Perched atop a hill at the edge of the town common in Strafford, Vermont, the Town House was constructed in 1799 by local carpenters as a place to do public business and served for a brief period in the early days as a meeting house for various local congregations. The building is one of the oldest meeting houses in Vermont. The Town House is located at 12 Brook Rd., Strafford, Vermont.
