Town Information

Description

Lincoln, Vermont at Wikipedia

Lincoln was chartered on November 9, 1780 by the Vermont Legislature. Like several other Addison County towns, Lincoln was settled by members of the Society of Friends, or Quakers. The first Quakers settled in an area known as Mud Flat about 1795. As time went by and other Quakers joined the original group, the area became known as Quaker Stand. The meeting house is gone and the Society has dispersed, but one part of Lincoln village is still called Quaker Street. [1] <ref>History of the Town of Lincoln, VT http://sites.rootsweb.
