What it’s like
The place. Lyndon is a very small community in Caledonia County, Vermont, where people mostly know one another. Homes here are valued well below what buyers pay in much of the country, and winters are long and cold, with a great deal of snow. Summers are warm without being hot, and the year brings steady rain and melted snow.
Work. Residents work mainly in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in shops, manufacturing and the building trades. Across Caledonia County, the largest workplaces include Northeastern VT Regional Hospital and the Kingdom East Unified Union School District. Unemployment across the county is low and has changed little over the past year.
Things to do. The St. Johnsbury Athenaeum, a museum, is a short drive away, as is Victory State Forest, a protected area of woodland. The Moose River is also a short drive off. Lake Willoughby is a longer drive, and worth the trip for a day by the water.
