The Town of Shrewsbury is a hilly and mountainous town located in Rutland County, Vermont, and is home to an uncrowded and tranquil social community.

Shrewsbury’s residents’ strong community spirit kindles a sense of affection, civic responsibility and loyalty, and a shared commitment to the Town’s well-being.
