Who We Are

Meet The Poultney Journal Team
The Poultney Journal is an independent, volunteer-staffed publication launched in October 2023 as a result of a series of community workshops in Poultney, Vermont.
We are dedicated locals committed to preserving our town's integrity and spirit by providing reliable, community-focused journalism.
