Nearby there was a woolen textile mill, a shoe peg mill and a pump and washboard factory that relied on Peter's Brook for its water and power from the early 1800's to the 1920's.

Today the historic village architecture and covered bridge reminds visitors of the early settlers and their innovations in harnessing the waterpower of Peter's Brook. Arlington served as the first capital of Vermont. Established by hardworking farmers and rugged entrepreneurs, many of the early settlers aided the Revolutionary War as members of the Green Mountain Boys.
