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.

Brookline Plant Sale
posted by Lee Anne Parker
The Brookline plant sale will return this year on Saturday, May 30th, running from 9am – 11 am at the Brookline Meetinghouse. Proceeds will go toward the ongoing renovations of our 1865 church. Gardeners should find a wide assortment of plants for their flower and veggie gardens, and it is a great time to meet fellow gardeners!
There will be raffle prizes as well, so bring some extra cash and win a lovely shrub donated by Dutton Farms, or perhaps a basket of gardening supplies donated by W&W Building Supply.
We hope the public will contribute what they can to the sale – perennials, annuals, vegetable sets, we even house plants. Please drop your donations on the steps any time the previous afternoon Friday afternoon. Also please label your plants – common names are fine, adding color and sun/shade information if you can.
Finally, we can only accept cash or checks as there is no wi-fi allowing us to accept other forms of payment.

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.
