Cambridge Valley, New York

The Cambridge Valley is nestled amongst farms and hills in one of the most scenic areas in upstate New York. This rural area is an easy to get to destination from the Albany area, and we are within an hours drive from Saratoga Springs, Glens Falls and Manchester Vermont.

Cambridge Village lies partially within the Town of Cambridge and the area remains very rural. The only population concentrations outside the village are the tiny hamlets of Coila, South Cambridge and Center Cambridge.

The entire township outside of Cambridge Village is a scenic delight. It abounds with the beautiful patchwork scenery made famous in the paintings of area native and renowned artist, Grandma Moses.

Although many of Cambridge's residents work outside the area, the mainstay of the town's economy has always been agriculture. Today the strength of the agricultural community lies in the many successful dairy farms. In addition, one of the two major poultry farms in the area is located in Cambridge.

Recreational activities abound in Cambridge. Many vacation cabins and home sites are located in our area where one not only enjoys rural living, but has easy access to the cultural life at Saratoga, Glens Falls and Bennington. Water quality is high, offering excellent fishing in area lakes, the Battenkill River and other streams. First-rate camping facilities help make swimming, boating, canoeing and hiking readily available to all. Challenging golf courses are also in the area, and plenty of tennis courts, too. In the area's hills and woodlands one can hunt for deer or wild turkey or ski cross-county. A family downhill ski area is only 15 minutes away.
