Read excerpt
SUTTON, Vt. (WCAX) - Chartered in 1782 as Billymead -- before fed-up residents voted in 1812 to rename it after a drunken bully founder’s son -- Sutton is home to just over 900 people. And as Darren Perron reports in this week’s installment of Vermont’s Own, the Caledonia County town is where a beloved outdoor landmark is now permanently protected from development.
