Education Cumberland is within the CAM Community School District. It was a part of the C & M Community School District, until July 1, 2011, when it merged into CAM. Local Cuisine In honor of Cumberland's centennial celebration in 1984, local residents compiled and distributed copies of a cookbook containing a collection of their favorite recipes. There was a wide array of different types of cuisine represented in the recipes but they largely consisted of dishes common in mid-western American country cooking that typically included meat-based main dishes, vegetable-based side dishes, and sugary and/or fruity baked goods for dessert dishes. One such recipe for Ham Balls received particularly high acclaim from several former residents.
