Connecticut River National Byway
Route 91 in Vermont; Routes 2 and 3 in New Hampshire Brattleboro, Bellows Falls, Windsor, White River Junction, Wells River, St. Johnsbury, VT
The Connecticut River Byway spans the east and west shores of the Connecticut River (which is most of the border of Vermont and New Hampshire), in both Vermont and New Hampshire. This river unites New Hampshire and Vermont for over half of the waterway's 410-mile journey from the Canadian border to the Atlantic Ocean. The history of New England's longest and most powerful river reaches back into time. It is the story of clashing continental plates and glaciers, the story of Abenaki natives living lightly on the land.
Along its shores the story of colonial settlement in this region is documented. The earliest stories are found in its villages, surrounded by lush fields and forests. Along this byway, visit the birthplace of Vermont, drive across a 465-foot covered bridge built in 1866, and wander through two restored historic railroad stations that now serve as waypoint centers. You can visit farms, craft and antiques shops, watch glass blowing, visit a micro brewery.
