The Stonebridge Inn, an historic 1808 building listed on the National Historic Registry, has been a Poultney landmark for 200 years. It suffered a terrible fire in 1996, and many though that demolition was its only future. But through the persistent efforts of local citizens and the tireless leadership of our Town Manager, Jonas Rosenthal, more than a dozen state and federal grants were awarded, local funds were raised, and tens of thousands of dollars in materials and labor were donated. Today the Stonebridge stands a rue phoenix arisen from the ashes, once again serving the community as the home for a pre-school center, the Poultney Foodshelf, the Poultney-Mettowee Natural Resource Conservation District Office, and the Travel and Tourism Information Services Center sponsored by the Poultney Area Chamber of Commerce.
