Golf in Saxtons River

Saxtons River is a village in Rockingham, Windsor County, situated along the Saxtons River at its confluence with the Connecticut River valley. The village is home to Vermont Academy, a private boarding school that brings an educational dimension to this small community. Bellows Falls, the largest village in Rockingham, sits a few miles east along the Connecticut River and provides the commercial center for the broader area. The river valleys in this corner of Vermont support both agriculture and a small creative community that has found affordable living in a region less affected by resort-economy price pressures. The Saxtons River Arts Center and the village's small gallery scene reflect the creative community that has found affordable studio space in a small Vermont town within reach of Brattleboro's larger cultural infrastructure.
