Editing Rupert, Vermont (section)

==History==
Many historians agree that [[Benning Wentworth]], colonial governor of [[Province of New Hampshire|New Hampshire]], gave Rupert its name, after [[Prince Rupert of the Rhine]] (1619–1682). Prince Rupert was a prominent figure in the [[English Civil War]] and afterwards.

One of Rupert's first settlers was Reuben Harmon, a metalsmith, who was given the right to mint coins, called [[Vermont copper]]s, for the [[Republic of Vermont]]. Harmon's Mint was originally located in East Rupert on a small stream known as Hagar's Brook.<ref>{{cite web |title=Harmon's Mint |url=https://vermonthistory.org/harmons-mint |website=Vermont History |access-date=August 16, 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Harmon's Mint, East Rupert |url=https://www.hmdb.org/m.asp?m=73639 |website=HMdb.org: Historical Marker Database |access-date=August 16, 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last1=Bowers |first1=David Q. |title=The History of United States Coinage As Illustrated by the Garrett Collection |url=https://www.pcgs.com/books/garret/chapter05/4 |website=PCGS |publisher=PCGS (Professional Coin Grading Service) |access-date=August 16, 2022}}</ref> It was later moved Southwind Farm in North Rupert.
