The Jericho Historical Society was formed in 1971 to restore and preserve Chittenden Mills. Its mission expanded to that of preserving the rich history of Jericho, Vermont, and the legacy of Wilson "Snowflake" Bentley. The Society's headquarters is located in the historic Chittenden Mills (c. 1885), a national historic site.
