Norwich, one of the prettiest towns in Vermont, was settled
in 1761 by a group from Marshfiled, Connecticut. It has always
had close ties to Hanover (just across the bridge), with which
it shares the Dresden school district. Many Dartmouth faculty
members live in Norwich, which was once the home for the American
Literary, Scientigfic, and Military Academy founded in 1819
and named Norwich University in 1834; it moved to Northfield
after the Civil War. The village is an architectural showcase
for fine brick and frame Federal homes. The Seven Nations
House across from the Norwich Inn, built as a commercial "tenement"
in 1832.
