Phineas Gage Monument

199 Pleasant St, Cavendish, Vermont USA

Independent

“talk about a headache!”

Phineas Gage is famous for being the luckiest unlucky guy. Unlucky in the sense that he had a metal rod blown through his head while working on a railroad. Lucky enough to live. Phineas is also famous for the major personality change he experienced as a result of the incident, but that's for a psychology class. Visit this monument so you can at least say you've visited a memorial to a guy who had a metal rod blown through his head and lived. That's something worth saying, isn't it?

Address is closer to 2091 Main Street, not on Pleasant Street. It is a small plaque on a rock in the grassy area at the corner of Main and High Streets. Some pretty old homes and an old stone church in town as well. Worth driving through and checking out.
