Poultney VT ~ Green Mountain was founded in 1834 as Troy Conference Academy,
a coeducational Methodist institution. It opened in 1837.
In 1863, during a period of private operation, it became Ripley Female College;
in 1874 it reopened as a Methodist college, again as Troy Conference Academy.

In 1937 it was renamed Green Mountain Junior College.
Green Mountain became a two-year junior college for women in 1943.
In 1974, the school changed its name to Green Mountain College and returned to coeducational status, offering four-year baccalaureate degrees.
In the late 1990s the college began to focus on environmental literacy and citizenship.

Closure
On January 23, 2019, Green Mountain's President, Robert W. Allen, announced that,
despite a 2018 loan from the Department of Agriculture Rural Development Community Facilities Programs,
the college had insufficient income to continue and would close that summer, at the end of the academic year.
Arizona's Prescott College — which also focuses on the environment and sustainability — agreed to allow Green Mountain students to complete their degrees at Prescott.
Prescott also said it would maintain the college's student records and hire some Green Mountain faculty. There were approximately 430 students when the college closed.
The campus was offered for sale and then at auction. In 2020 entrepreneur Raj Bhakta purchased the former Green Mountain campus for $4.5 million.
