In 1894, Westminster, Vermont native Charles Albert Dickinson realized his dream of creating a place of care and nurturing for children in difficult circumstances.
Over the next century, under the direction of strong leaders and a devoted staff, Kurn Hattin grew in size and reputation. Word spread near and far of the remarkable program and total commitment to helping at-risk children grow physically, intellectually, emotionally, and socially.
Reverend Dickinson would certainly feel proud and at home at the Kurn Hattin of today.

“The mountaintop we’ve gained today; but, lo, our rainbow far away with ten-fold brilliance scans the sky.
~ Charles Albert Dickinson, Kurn Hattin Founder
