Rutland is the second largest city in Vermont and the center of one of the world's largest marble quarrying districts. Located near the famed ski areas of Killington and Pico, and the popular tourist destination of Woodstock, Rutland is a trading center for the surrounding towns and farms. The city's industrial, recreational, and cultural activities, and its beautiful natural setting make Rutland a highly livable small community.
