Cumberland

Towers
(CVT) is located on
high ground above
the
picturesque
Cumberland River
right near the
spot where Ellen
G. White’s boat
docked, she went
ashore, and the
Madison history
was born.
It is located
at 1201 Cheyenne
Boulevard in Madison, Tennessee and is an eleven-story building with 150
one-bedroom apartments and one two-bedroom apartment. It also has a
banquet/gathering room, laundry room, recreation center, kitchen, library, and
computer lab.

or national origin.
