    Bakersfield is a town in Franklin County, Vermont, United States. The town history began when Joseph Baker of Westborough, Massachusetts, the namesake for the village, bought 10,000 acres in 1791. Initial settlers were his son-in-law, Stephen Maynard, and his nephew Jonas Brigham, along with their families. Baker built grist and saw mills on Baker's Pond in 1794. Two years later Maynard built a tavern. In 1797, a school was established in a log cabin at the Post Road and Vermont 108. Five acres were deeded for the development of a town common and burying ground in 1804 by Joseph Baker. Maynard built a Federal style house north of the village to serve as the first post office in 1811.

    Just found this amusing, apparenty Joseph Baker of Bakersfeild wasn't related to the Enosburgh Joseph Baker.

    I was tempted to qualify for the 251 Club, of people who have visited all 251 towns in Vermont. This video and your history of the towns here suggest are a great step in that direction.

    When I taught at Middlebury, I often drove through the roads and towns of Vermont, and I remember this route. Memory Highway! Thanks for posting it.
