The Jeffersonville Vermont Silos were completed in 2016 by Artist Sarah Rutherford.

These two silos were once remnants of the old Bell-Gates Lumber operation. The south silo was once originally used as a kiln to dry lumber while the north silo was used to store sawdust. The property was then brought by the Village of Jeffersonville, one of two villages in the town of Cambridge.

The Cambridge Arts Council were lucky enough to receive a grant from the Vermont Arts Council and the National Endowments for Arts. When artist Sarah Rutherford completed her final designs, they were then voted on by the Jeffersonville Village.

These amazing murals represent the towns past and future. The North Silo shows how the summer and autumn seasons come together. You can also see the male farmer who portrays the past and current generations. While also noticing the horses, drawing logs, church clock tower and the covered bridge these all represent the towns history of Cambridge.

The South Silo portrays the winter and spring seasons, with the bandstand that once sat at the head of Main Street. The face of an 8-year-old child represents the future of the area. Both of these silos feature the thrush and red clover, which are Vermont symbols.

Artist Sarah Rutherford has created an amazing two-part mural on two concrete silos along with her two interns and LN Bethea who serves on the board of directors of the Cambridge Arts Council. Each silo is thirty-six feet tall; at 5,000 square feet total, the two comprise the largest outdoor mural in Vermont. This artwork has changed the face of Jeffersonville and is surly to become the towns defining work of art.
