From its founding as Fort Drummer in 1724, the town that would become
Brattleboro has enjoyed beautiful views and a strong spirit. Former Brattleboro Reformer contributor Fran Lynggaard Hansen describes the town’s history through highlights from her “Downstreet” column, including accounts of the 1848 smallpox outbreak, the construction of the Harris Ski Jump, the story behind George Crowell’s Lindenhurst mansion and the dedication of the volunteers who launched the first Winter Carnival. Portraying residents at work, at play and in service to one another, she captures the essence of Brattleboro’s enduring charm.
