No. 93, View of dam with overhead walking suspension bridge near Proctor, Vermont Proctor is situated along a north-south valley of the Otter Creek in Rutland County. It features vast marble and sand deposits, the proximity to the “Great Falls” of Otter Creek and the rail lines are among the primary reasons Redfield Proctor, Sr. formed the Vermont Marble Company here in 1880. Six years later, the settlement of Sutherland Falls was recognized as the Town of Proctor by the Vermont State Legislature.
