Date Visited: Lived here about 10 years
Figured it was time to “visit” our home town.
The village of Danby, once the home of Pearl Buck, is a relatively peaceful village located near Route 7 about 20 minutes north of Manchester and 20 minutes south of Rutland. We have found the people here to be friendly for the most part. There is a bit of evidence of an entrenched clique of old timers but for the most they mean well.
There’s not a lot of industry here and the general store is just down the road in Mt. Tabor since Nichols Store closed after so many years of operation. Of course, as I noted, Rutland and its amenities are close by. We came here after moving from Pawlet. Living in the Mettowee Valley was the best home we ever had.
