About
Notown
Notown
Communications offers public relations, editorial and photographic
services to the golf industry, specializing in golf course construction,
design and maintenance. The company was founded in Notown, a
remote section of Stockbridge, Vermont in 1995.
The
territory that became known as Notown was left unclaimed by the
adjoining towns of Stockbridge, Bridgewater and Killington when
Vermont's towns were established in 1810. Annexed by Stockbridge
in 1885, the region once supported a boarding house, gold mine,
general store, school and numerous private residences until the
1927 flood completely devastated the settlement. Today, the property
is a wild and enchanting state wildlife management area, and
the only structure is a shelter along the Appalachian Trail.
It is from this beauty that we derive our strength. |
