A small Vermont town settled in 1783 for grazing livestock, Cambridge is a perfect gateway to the nearby resorts on Mount Mansfield and Smuggler’s Notch. During the summer, all around Cambridge there are well-maintained trails for hiking, birdwatching, and horseback riding.

In the winter, Smuggler’s Notch is a first-class resort with a range of facilities.

Cambridge is famous for its three historic covered bridges. Smuggler’s Notch Distillery offers original local maple products and crafts.

The city has a lively craft beer scene and a tour of their tap room will give you a chance to meet friendly locals. For a bit of history, visit Longfellow House, a beautiful mansion that was the home of the renowned poet Henry W. Longfellow, and the headquarters for General George Washington in 1775. Map
