Barnard Vermont was once home of Nobel Prize winning author, Sinclair Lewis and his journalist wife, Dorothy Thompson. Barnard is a quiet, picturesque Vermont town located just north of Woodstock, Vermont.

Bernard was the second listed grantee of the town. The spellling change to Barnard was made sometime before 1810 for reasons unclear.
