Cambridge (village), New York

Cambridge is a village in Washington County, New York, United States.

It fell into disuse in the 1920s, but was purchased in 1977 by a group of people including Benjie White, who restored it and operated it as a concert venue and, with an expansion in 2000, as a community arts center with theatre, music, dance and visual arts classes and performances.

After 37 years, White stepped down as director in the summer of 2014, and was succeeded by David Snider, who left a position as director of artistic programming at the Arena Stage in Washington, D.C.[4] According to the United States Census Bureau, the village has a total area of 1.7 square miles (4.4 km2), all land.

32.8% of all households were made up of individuals, and 17.0% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older.

Cambridge Central School, rebuilt in 1950 after a devastating fire, was the site of the Norman Rockwell painting “Triumph in Defeat,” which appeared on the cover of the Saturday Evening Post on May 23, 1953.

Cambridge Central School District has a long tradition of academic excellence, usually ranking in the top 15 in the Capital Area Albany business review.
