SALISBURY (alt. 340, pop. township 632), 44.1 m., was named after Salisbury, Connecticut, original home of the Aliens and other prominent
Vermont pioneers. The sidehill village is built along the sharp-curving
highway above river banks in a narrow valley, and is best known as the southern junction of the Lake Dunmore road. Amos Story first settled the town in 1774, but was killed under a falling tree before he could bring
his family here. Mrs. Story, a woman of great strength and courage, came
with her brood of small children, to carry on the work of the farm. She
remained in SaUsbury during the Revolution, when nearly all the settlers
fled. Her home was burned by Indians, but the dauntless woman soon had it rebuilt, and it became a popular stopping place for the Patriots in the stirring times when it was the Green Mountain Boys against the
world. A monument to her memory was erected in 1905.
