About Cavendish
Cavendish is a quiet, scenic village set in the Black River valley of south-central Vermont. It offers an easygoing pace of life surrounded by hills and forests, with the busy ski slopes of Okemo Mountain and the amenities of Ludlow just a short drive down the road. Historic homes and a traditional village green give the town a lot of character, and history buffs know it for the famous 1848 Phineas Gage railroad accident that shaped early neuroscience. For anyone seeking a tight-knit community with easy access to hiking, river fishing, and winter sports, Cavendish is a great place to settle down.
