About this city
Also known as: Home of Okemo
Ludlow is a picturesque mountain valley town nestled in south-central Vermont along the Black River, dominated by the imposing slopes of Okemo Mountain. Originally chartered in 1761, Ludlow evolved into a highly prosperous 19th-century manufacturing town driven by woolen mills and shoddy mills that utilized local water power. Following the decline of textile industries, the town cleverly reinvented itself into a quintessential New England resort destination. Today, Ludlow blends a beautifully preserved historic main street, complete with Victorian brick architecture and rustic eateries, with the large-scale alpine amenities of Okemo Mountain Resort.
