Facts & Statistics

Fun Local Trivia
  1. In the "30 Rock" episode "Episode 210," clips of Middlebury appear in stock footage.
  2. For 23 summers, Robert Frost, the great poet, made the mountains just outside of Middlebury his home. When he welcomed New England into his heart, the Middlebury area struck him as particularly captivating. The founder of the town's Vermont Book Shop knew the poet well, and the Middlebury College Library houses many of his first editions.
  3. Sure, maybe Middlebury doesn't have hoards of filmmakers pounding at the front door, begging to make movies in the Vermont town. However, Middlebury did serve as the haunting locale for some of the most memorable and chilling moments in suspense history. Remember the scenes from the bridge in "What Lies Beneath"? That was Champlain Bridge in Crown Point, mere miles from campus. The majority of the movie was filmed in the John Strong Mansion, just up the road on Route 17.
  4. The foliage in Middlebury is some of the most resplendent in the country at peak season, which occurs in October.
  5. Middlebury pioneered Vermont's marble industry. The Marble Works, filled with small shops and restaurants, continues to stand as a monument to this first.
