About Jeudevine Falls
Jeudevine Falls, once owned by the Free Soil Pioneer Alden Jeudevine, is situated in the historic town of Hardwick, Vermont. During the Revolutionary War, George Washington ordered that a road be constructed that would allow access into central Vermont, and this resulted in the settlement of Hardwick and the surrounding areas.
In 1839, Alden Jeudevine moved to Hardwick, and as an advocate of the anti-slavery movement, he became prominent in local politics. He was appointed by President Tyler as Post Master of Hardwick and held that position for 23 years until ending his post under President Lincoln. He went on to become a member of three Constitutional Conventions and a State Senator. Today, the Jeudevine Library (donated to Hardwick by Alden's wife, Malvina) still stands and is important part of the town.
Jeudevine Falls, sits on land once owned by Alden, and it has been exceptionally maintained over the years by its current proprietor, Bob Edebohls. It remains a pristine slice of history and nature nestled in the rolling mountains of the Northeast Kingdom.
