The Town of Shrewsbury is a hilly and mountainous town located in Rutland County, Vermont, and is home to an uncrowded and tranquil social community. Shrewsbury’s unique and special character stems from its historically rural and village settlement pattern and the natural beauty of its mountain setting containing large areas of wooded and open land, wetlands, and upland waterways. Shrewsbury’s residents’ strong community spirit kindles a sense of affection, civic responsibility and loyalty, and a shared commitment to the Town’s well-being.
