history

Tinmouth was founded on September 15, 1761 as Grant by Benning Wentworth . Joseph Hooker and other settlers received the grant. The land was divided into seventy parts, five of which were reserved. These went to Benning Wentworth, the Anglican Church, the first priest to settle in the town, for the upkeep and operation of a school and part for church missionary work. The founding meeting did not take place until 1774, even if the grant stated that it should have taken place in 1762. Tinmouth gave about 1/3 of its original area for the founding of Middletown Springs and Wallingford.

A few mills were formed on the rivers, but only to a small extent, mainly to meet the needs of the early settlers. There were also two blacksmiths, a cheese factory and a few shops. The residents mainly operated in agriculture and forestry.

The Old Firehouse on the left and the Tinmouth Library on the right

The old fire station was originally the city's large barn. It was converted into a fire station in the 1960s and a fire engine was stored. After a new fire station was built in the 1970s, it was empty. It was renovated in 1999 with the help of the Historic Preservation Fund and the Vermont Arts Council's Cultural Facilities Grants . Since then, concerts and the Old Firehouse Concert Series have taken place here. It can also be rented by the residents.

Religions

The first and for a long time the only religious denomination in Tinmouth was congregationalism; the congregation was formed in 1780. A small episcopal congregation and a few Methodists lived in Tinmouth. Today there is a United Methodist ward in Tinmouth.
