Green Mountain College, located in the rural town of Poultney in western Vermont's Lakes Region, operated as a private liberal arts institution from 1834 until its closure in 2019. The 155-acre campus, situated between the Adirondack and Green Mountains, featured historic New England-style buildings centered around a traditional quad. Known for its environmental focus, the college pioneered sustainability education and was among the first to offer comprehensive programs in environmental studies and sustainable agriculture. The institution maintained a working farm as part of its curriculum and operated entirely on renewable energy, while providing residential housing in both historic and modern dormitories. Prior to its closure due to financial challenges, Green Mountain College was recognized for its environmental liberal arts program and its commitment to ecological sustainability in both academics and campus operations.
