DeutschJericho is a town of 5,000 people (2014) in the Champlain Valley of Vermont. It is adjacent to the village of Underhill Flats.
Get in
[edit | edit source]The bus service to Jeffersonville via Jericho was discontinued, so it is necessary to come by car. Green Mountain Transit (GMT) still offers services to Essex a few miles to the west.
By car
[edit | edit source]VT-15 connects Essex and Essex Junction with Jericho and Underhill, which is a little farther to the east. In Underhill, VT-15 turns north toward Jeffersonville. Local roads connect Jericho with rural areas to its south, and VT-117 connects with US-2 and I-89.
