Mt. Killington -- State's second highestpeak -- scene of christening legend
Southward appears the summit of Mt. Killington, once called Pisgah, on which Rev. Samuel Peters claimed he christened the wilderness with the name Verd-mont in 1763. Most historians give credit to Dr. Thomas Youngs letter to the inhabitants of Vermont, sent to Windsor in 1777.
