A mountain and a river run through it. So can you.

 

'Outdoor cat’-type people thrive in Cambridge, with its easy access to ‘the Mountain’ for skiing and hiking, local bike trails. Then there is camping, hunting, and kayaking, swimming and fishing on the Lamoille River and Brewster River that wind through it. There are plenty of gravel and paved backroads to bike leisurely by grazing animals, meadow views, ledges and brooks.

Cambridge was settled by John Safford of New Hampshire in 1783, when Vermont was still ‘only’ a Republic. He opened the first school three years later, with a class of twenty four eager learners. 

Local tall tales include the origin of Pumpkin Harbor Road, Mudgett Farm Road and the Poor House, revealing its pragmatic, generous and colorful beginnings. For example, Cambridge once had a circus, with lions, tigers and bears. This local person travelled in the summers with his menagerie for several years, until the local folks passed a rule prohibiting them.

In its early years, it was a commerce hub, with several railroads serving the station. Today, those tracks are now the Lamoille Valley Rail Trail which serves everything from strollers and bikes to mushing dogsleds. 

Cambridge has virtually no zoning regulations, so sub-division is not an overly-complicated project. Ask us about developing land, it’s one of our specialties.
