Welcome to the Town of Brookline, Vermont

A Warm and Friendly Place to Live and Visit

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 live and visit.

Road Closure – Hill Road

Due to construction on the Stone Arch Bridge, Hill Road will be closed between 352 Hill Road and 361 Hill Road beginning July 13, 2026 through approximately September 15, 2026.

No through traffic will be permitted during construction. Please allow additional travel time. Kirsch Road can now only be accessed via the second entrance to Hill Road across from the Recycling Bins in Brookline.
