Chad Abramovich: Unearthing Vermont’s Hidden Stories
MILTON, VT — Chad Abramovich, an urban explorer and blogger from Vermont, has turned his childhood fascination with abandoned spaces into an extensive documentation of the state’s lesser-known tales through his blog, Obscure Vermont. His adventures commenced during rides in his father’s vintage Toyota Land Cruiser, where an ongoing intrigue was sparked by an old local landmark: the Milton Creamery.
Founded in the early 20th century, the Whiting Creamery served local dairy farmers until its closure in the 1970s. Abramovich’s first venture inside the dilapidated building was “an endlessly fascinating” experience that launched him into a lifelong quest for exploration. Today, his blog showcases an array of stories—from ghost towns to obscured cemeteries—captivating a wide audience with the eerie yet rich history of Vermont.
Recognized for his passionate pursuits, Abramovich has collaborated with local historical societies and libraries, delivered talks on the state’s mysteries, and appeared on national television. His work has also been featured in notable publications, including Seven Days and Off the Beaten Path, Vermont. Facing his own challenges with Asperger’s syndrome, Abramovich found that writing enabled him to connect with others and explore the world from a transformative perspective.
As he continues his journey into Vermont’s past, Abramovich emphasizes the importance of safety during such explorations, often warning his readers of the potential hazards. “You’re responsible for your own safety,” he cautions, given that many locations may be private property or pose physical risks.
For Abramovich, sharing Vermont’s fascinating history and oddities through Obscure Vermont isn’t just a hobby; it’s a calling, with adventures awaiting around every corner. Discover more at ObscureVermont.com.
