Welcome
to Randolph Center, the geographical center of Vermont and
one of the highest villages in elevation in the state.
Settled in 1780, it quickly became a prosperous farm
community and hub for county-wide higher education. Today,
along the beautiful tree lined main street, distinguished
by numerous examples of colonial and Greek revival
architecture, sits the campus of Vermont Technical
College. Part of the State college system, it ranks high
nationally in its placement of graduates into the job
market. The college provides opportunities, educationally,
athletically with its SHAPE sports
facility for the local population, through extension
services like the Vermont
Manufacturing Extension Center and the Vermont
Small Business Development Center, and is a base of higher
paying jobs in the area.
From this picture-book Vermont town,
with Floyd's
old fashioned general store, the Green Mountain
Range provides a spectacular backdrop to the west.
Tourists enjoy the simplicity and beauty of Lake
Champagne Campground, a small but friendly,
relaxing place to enjoy all the amenities of camping.
Views
are around every turn as you drive the country roads. Much
of the surrounding area is still farmed, like Neighborly
Farms and Bulrush
Farm, but because of
the proximity to Exit #4 on Interstate 89, residents live
in town and commute to jobs in Montpelier and Hanover, N.H.,
creating an interesting cross section of people. With
Boston only 2 1/2 hours away, summer residents find
Randolph Center an easy destination. Here we have the best
of both worlds, a beautiful and safe town in which to
raise a family and a place in the country not isolated
from the centers of commerce and culture.
