Welcome to the Town of Brookline, Vermont
A Warm and Friendly Place to Visit and Live
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 visit and live.
Dedication to Cynthia Nau
When: Nov 7, 2026, 12:00 PM to 12:30 PM
Where: Round Schoolhouse, 733 Grassy Brook Road
Please join the Round Schoolhouse committee on Saturday, November 7th at Noon for the dedication of the RSH garden in memory of Cynthia Nau . Maybe she was your teacher…your neighbor or coworker at NewBrook Elementary School . Come and share a story or two. Stay a few minutes for some apple cider and donuts inside the one room classroom. Cynthia’s daughter Laurie Nau-Martocci will join us as she readies to move South with her husband Nick.
Following the dedication, there will be a reorganization meeting of the new committee members. Join Dot Maggio and Marjorie Albrecht Ray in welcoming Jesse Guerrero, Jean Albee and Buffy Smith as the newest members of the RSH Committee at Town Hall.
