Welcome to Lyndon!

The Town of Lyndon is located in Caledonia County, within the beautiful Northeast Kingdom region of Vermont. Founded in 1780, Lyndon is six miles square in area and has a population of 5,981 residents (2010 census). Located right off Interstate 91, Lyndon is the Gateway to the Northeast Kingdom, providing visitors and residents with all the amenities needed from a hub community. Lyndon is a great place to live, work, and play.

Lyndon has some of Vermont’s most gorgeous natural beauty and hosts mountain bike trails on the Kingdom Trails Network, Passumpsic River paddling trails, downhill skiing at Lyndon Outing Club, Lyndon Institute and Northern Vermont University, and five historic covered bridges.

The Village of Lyndonville, located within the Town of Lyndon, was incorporated by an act of the legislature dated December 24, 1880. Within the Village, Bandstand Park (formerly known as “Lyndonville Park”), stands a fountain, which was purchased in New York in 1885. As one of the finest village greens in Vermont, the park hosts many events including weekly band concerts in the summer, Farmer’s Market on Fridays, craft fairs, community events, and everyday year-round enjoyment. Not to be missed, and hard to miss, come visit us in Lyndon!
