What it’s like

The place. Eden is a small rural town in Lamoille County, Vermont, with a quiet, spread-out feel. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and household incomes run above the county's, with a smaller share of people living below the poverty line than you might expect in a country town. Residents are on the younger side for Vermont, and fewer adults hold a four-year degree than in many places. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month and temperatures well below freezing, while July is pleasantly warm.

Work. Many residents work in the building trades, in schools, hospitals and social care, in professional and business services, and in manufacturing. Across Lamoille County, some of the largest workplaces are Smugglers' Notch Resort, Copley Hospital and the Lamoille North Modified Union School District. Commutes tend to be long, and few people work from home, so a good deal of the day is spent on the road.

Things to do. The Vermont International Museum of Contemporary Art + Design is in or beside town, a museum devoted to contemporary art and design. A short drive away, the Missisquoi River is a river for walking beside or fishing along. Elmore State Park, a protected area, is a longer drive away, as is Trapp Family Lodge, a ski area.
