More on Windsor, Vermont
Description from Wikipedia:
Windsor is a town in Windsor County, Vermont, United States. The population was 3,756 at the 2000 census.
Windsor village began development at the end of the 18th century and achieved importance in Vermont history as the location of the framing of the constitution of Vermont. It is known as the birthplace of Vermont, where the state constitution was signed, and acted as the first capital and meeting place of the Vermont General Assembly until 1805 when Montpelier became the official capital.
The village prospered due to its excellent location for industry on the banks of the Connecticut River at the point where several smaller streams run into it. Commerce developed further in the mid-19th century when Windsor became the first town in the state to break ground for the railroad with the construction of a rail depot. Windsor-Mt. Ascutney (Amtrak station) Windsor Station connected town to out of state markets. It was after the railroad went through that a number of prominent individuals from New York and elsewhere began to discover the beauty of Windsor and the Cornish, New Hampshire area. Cornish is connected to Windsor, Vermont by the longest covered bridge in the US. ==Geography==
