Windsor’s First Meeting House

Near this spot stood Windsor’s first meeting house, built in 1773–1774. Here, on July 2, 1777, the convention assembled for its initial session and six days later, in the tavern farther north on Main Street, adopted the first constitution of Vermont. Here, on March 12, 1778, Vermont’s first legislature assembled and, on the same day, inaugurated Vermont’s first governor, Thomas Chittenden.
