The mountain lies within the boundaries of Mt. Ascutney State Park
Called the “White Mountain within the Green Mountains” (identical composition)
Mt. Ascutney is located in the Connecticut River Valley
This refers to the fact that the Sugar and Connecticut Rivers meet in the shadow of the mountain
Logging was perhaps the most widespread industry on the mountain because timber was Ascutney’s most accessible resource
