Located in the western foothills of our beautiful Green Mountain state, Jericho offers the perfect balance of community, activity, and breathtaking beauty. Just a short drive from Bolton Valley, Mount Mansfield, and Smugglers’ Notch, Jericho makes it easy for you to enjoy the year-round outdoor activities that these popular mountain resorts have to offer. 

This idyllic town is home to several historic properties, including the Jericho Center Country Store, which is the oldest continuously functioning general store in the state. Another noteworthy landmark is the Old Red Mill built in the 1850s on the Brown’s River, which is the perfect place to learn about the history of the area, have a picnic, and soak up the picturesque views. Just about 3 miles upriver is the Mills Riverside Park, an excellent spot to explore scenic trails and hikes, cool off in the river on hot summer days, or shop from local vendors at the Jericho Farmers Market. If you’re looking for a delicious dinner or brunch spot, make sure to visit the Jericho Cafe and Tavern located just down the road from the Old Red Mill. Once you’re done with dinner, head to Palmer Lane Maple for one of the best maple creemees around! 

Jericho not only possesses a quaint town feel while being surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty, but it also provides the perfect setting for opening your own small business or exploring other local employment opportunities.

As well, be sure to check out the Mount Mansfield Union School District and the many excellent carpentry and trade businesses in town.  Curious about traveling to major cities?
