Sherburne Killington Historians unveiled a new “Killington Communities” sign

Courtesy of Sheila Pilsmaker / A new sign mapping “Killington Communities” debuts outside the Killington Welcome Center.

A desire to share Killington’s  history at the Welcome Center resulted from one of their members visiting the Mendon Town Office and admiring the historic sign placement there.

When they heard that, the most frequently asked question by folks at the Welcome Center was, “Where is the town?” The Sherburne Killington Historians engaged Awesome Graphics to help design the answer: It’s many varied communities that make up the town. Specifically, three: The “North Sherburne community” (along the Scene Route 100 Byway), the “original Sherburne community” (on River Road and the Route 4 flats), and the “resort and commercial community” (on Killington Road and East Mountain Road). 

The Historians hope locals and tourists will enjoy the map and photos of the town’s many points of interest. 

A QR code on the sign links visitors directly to the Historians’ website under Sherburne Memorial Library. The society plans to expand on Killington’s history with more details and photos on the site.

The Sherburne Killington Historians meet at the Sherburne Memorial Library on the second Saturday of each month at 10 a.m. All are welcome.
