Lunenburg, Vermont, USA (Mill Village) (Gilman)
1849 - Lunenburg

Essex Co. This town is on the west side of Connecticut River, and watered by Neal's Branch and Pond, and Catbow Branch, good mill streams. Some of the land is very good, but the most of it is stony, apparently of diluvial formation, consisting of rounded masses of granite, embedded in clay and gravel. This is a good grazing town, and produces some cattle, and butter and cheese for market.

Boundaries. North-west by Victory, north-east by Guildhall, south-east by Connecticut River, south-west by Concord, and is opposite Dalton, in New Hampshire.
