History

Established in 1975.

Fred and Judi Danforth founded Danforth Pewterers in 1975 in Woodstock, Vermont designing and producing a line of original pieces which they sold out of their farmhouse workshop. They moved to Lincoln, Vermont in 1978, and continued to grow. In 1989, the business was moved into a newly designed facility in Middlebury, Vermont where the Danforth Pewter line is still handcrafted with pride. Danforth Pewter currently has four store locations in Vermont (Middlebury, Burlington, Waterbury Center, and Quechee) as well as the Shirley Pewter Shop in Williamsburg, VA. The company also sells wholesale as well as doing custom designs.
