Ferndale
Ferndale was settled in 1852 by Vermonters Seth and Stephen Shaw, but it was Danish pioneers who established the town's dairying industry in the 1850s, producing the butter that Ferndale has been identified with ever since. The houses that the Danish and Portuguese dairymen built, known as ''butterfat palaces,'' reflect the town's past and present. Fern Cottage, 3 miles west on Ocean Avenue, features 19th-century items. The village is a state historical landmark; it plays host to a December Christmas gala.
