The Jericho Historic District |
|
The
Jericho Rural Historic District is located in the Upper Valley hilltop
country, nestled between the Connecticut and White Rivers.
The Jericho historic district stands out
among other rural areas of southeastern Vermont due to its variety of
intact agricultural buildings, depicting farming trends typical in
Vermont from the early nineteenthcentury to the midtwentiethcentury,
such as English barns, dairy barns, horse barns, highdrive dairy barns,
groundlevel stable barns and milk houses.

Of the District’s 774 registered acres, 270 make up the Fairbrothers
Farm. The Farm’s fields and woodlands stretch from the Griggs Mountain
ridge on the northwest, across the Jericho Brook, and over the top of
Savage Hill on the southeast.
