Whether it’s the Goodrich family with 45,000 taps, all on pipeline, or Willem Talbert with his four buckets, there’s a lot of sugaring going on in this small town. An informal survey shows that Cabot has well over 100,000 taps put in during the sugaring season.

Cabot’s Highway Gets Upgraded

Tuesday, 09 April 2013 13:33 administrator

If you’ve driven down U.S. Route 2 in the past year, you’ve probably noticed some changes. Not only did the village of Danville go through a major overhaul, but Cabot’s own stretch of highway was also reconstructed. Last summer, about two miles of the road was expanded, thanks to an eight million dollar grant from the Federal government. The upgrade included 12-foot travel lanes, an eight-foot shoulder, and a 3900-foot truck lane. While the new stretch looks much more like a highway than the rest of Route 2, we can be assured that more improvements along other stretches are planned for the future.

Thank You, Cabot!

What a blast Maple Fest was! So much going on and so much to do. Maple Fest is a fundraiser for The Cabot Chronicle, and enough money was raised to cover about three months of publication costs. The Chronicle staff could never have pulled it off alone. The success belongs to the community as a whole.
