Living in North Ferrisburgh

North Ferrisburgh has deep roots. The Spade Farm Covered Bridge, built around 1850, originally stood on Old Hollow Road in North Ferrisburgh before a local farmer had it moved to his farm in 1958 rather than see it dismantled. The town itself was chartered in 1762 and hosted an art colony from 1917 to 1924 with faculty from Middlebury College and UVM.

Lake Champlain is close by. Kingsland Bay State Park, 264 acres on the lake, has a beach, boat rentals, picnic pavilions, and a 50-acre natural area on two lake peninsulas. It's also home to Hawley's Ferry House, a stone house built around 1790 and one of the few surviving 18th-century buildings on the Vermont side of the lake.

On Route 7, the Rokeby Museum preserves the 1780s farmstead of the Robinson family, Quaker abolitionists who sheltered freedom seekers on the Underground Railroad in the 1830s and 1840s; it's a National Historic Landmark. Burlington is a straightforward drive north on Route 7, and Vergennes and Middlebury are to the south.
