Welcome to the Town of Brookline, Vermont
A Warm and Friendly Place to Live and Visit
Situated between the West River and Putney Mountain, Brookline, Vermont is a small, rural town with a little more than 500 residents. The famous Round Schoolhouse sits across from the Town Office. Brookline may not have a “downtown,” gas station, or shopping center, but it does offer a warm and friendly place to live and visit.
Property Tax first payment due August 24, 2026
Road Closures & Upcoming Projects
Ellen Ware Road is closed near the town line with Townshend for culvert replacement for approximately 3 weeks (thru early Sept).
As a reminder, we have several other ongoing and upcoming road projects that may affect travel over the coming weeks and months.
Hill Road – Stone Arch Bridge ONGOING
Sam Bourne’s crew is making incredible progress on this project! Much of the work is complete, but some final items are still in progress.
Grassy Brook Road – Green Mountain Power ONGOING
GMP is still in town installing utility poles on Grassy Brook Road between Hill Road and Whitney Hill Road.
Grassy Brook Road – Paving UPCOMING
Two sections of Grassy Brook Road are expected to be paved in August or September.
Construction schedules often depend on contractor availability, weather, grant approvals, and utility company timelines, so exact dates are not always available.
Thank you for your patience as these important infrastructure projects move forward!

The Round Schoolhouse
In 1822, the Round Schoolhouse was built and used as a school until 1929 when it was replaced by the present school building. The Round Schoolhouse served the Town from 1929 to 1989 as a Town Hall for various town functions.
The Brookline Meetinghouse
In 1836 the Brookline Baptist Church was erected. It is currently known locally as The Historic Brookline Meetinghouse.
The Stone Arch Culvert
On October 23, 2025, the Vermont Advisory Council on Historic Preservation voted to list the Brookline Stone Arch Culvert in the State Register of Historic Places, the state’s official list of historic properties significant to the history of Vermont.
