A Small College With a Global Vision
Goddard
College is located in Plainfield, a small town in Central Vermont. The
campus is situated in a beautiful rural setting but has easy Interstate
access to some of the nation's greatest centers of urban culture and
recreation. The following are approximate distances to important
destinations:
Montpelier, VT 10 miles
Burlington, VT 50 miles
Montreal, Canada 135 miles (218 km)
Springfield, MA 164 miles
Portland, ME 172 miles
Boston, MA 200 miles
Albany, NY 205 miles
New York, NY 346 miles
Though rural and agricultural, Central Vermont is a popular destination for
New England tourism, with spectacular Autumn foliage and world-class Winter
skiing nearby.
The campus sits upon approximately 175 acres of rolling pastureland and
forest. The campus buildings are an interesting collection of structures
that represent different eras in the college's and region's history. The
core of the campus is the old Greatwood Estate buildings and gardens, a
Vermont historical landmark, which became the college's home in 1938 (see
"History of Goddard").
Over the years, more modern structures were added to the original ten
Greatwood Estate buildings that reflect the changing needs of this
experimental college. Among these are:
* a dozen eight-room cottage dormitories called the "Village For
Learning"
* the multipurpose Eliot Pratt Center that houses the library and its
singular Progressive education archives
* three student-built arts buildings that reflect the college's philosophy
* a student-built solar greenhouse.
