Welcome to Colchester, Vermont

Colchester is the third largest community in Vermont with over 17,000 residents. Several important businesses and organizations call our town home: St. Michael's College, the Albany College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, the UVM Colchester Research Facility, VT Public Radio, VT Public Television and the VT Youth Orchestra. We are located on the shores of Malletts Bay, part of beautiful Lake Champlain, where there is access to numerous water sports, including boating, swimming and fishing.

Additionally, Colchester has many parks to hike, play tennis, enjoy a summer concert or simply relax.  To the east are the verdant slopes of the Green Mountains which beckon hikers, hunters, skiers and nature lovers.

Colchester offers convenient transportation links.  Situated along the Interstate 89 corridor, minutes from Colchester are an international airport, rail and bus stations.

Come visit us and discover all that we have to offer!
