Connecticut River Byway www.ctriverbyway.org The Connecticut River Byway is a nationally recognized byway, uniting the shores of the historic Connecticut River in Vermont and New Hampshire. The story of New England s longest and most powerful river begins with the clashing continental plates and glaciers and the first peoples, the Abenaki. Colonial settlement in villages and steam locomotives that traveled in the valley established architectural traditions that still dominate the valley today. The river has shaped local commerce for centuries. The powerful waters that turned mill wheels and propelled the production of intricate precision machinery still provide power to the region. Soils enriched by the river established a strong agricultural heritage that still flourishes. Historic sites are located throughout the byway and range from Revolutionary War to industrial history. Cultural sites include a variety of museums, galleries and performance venues. Connecticut River vistas take in rivers, villages, farmlands and forests. Along the route, ten river towns offer visitor information at Waypoint Centers, including local history and cultural, dining, lodging and recreational opportunities.

Northeast Kingdom Byway www.northeastkingdombyway.com It has taken nearly a million years to form the definitive region known as Vermont s Northeast Kingdom. Over the eons, the region has been sculpted by the collision of continents, glacial activity and natural erosion to form a distinctive landscape of rolling hills, rising mountains and pristine lakes. Time and human habitation have softened the edges, leaving thick forests, lush pastures and meandering streams, as well as picturesque villages, enduring farmsteads and impressive historic edifices. The byway threads this singular countryside on Routes 114, 5A and 111. Today, the Kingdom is regarded to be among the most beautiful landscapes in the country. National Geographic ranks the area as the #1 Geotourism destination in the United States and among the top ten in the world. The Northeast Kingdom Byway and its collection of side trip itineraries introduce visitors to a region where simplicity overshadows technology, and the tapestry of hills, trees, lakes, and villages provides inspiration for artists, craftspeople, writers, and musicians. Throughout the seasons the Northeast Kingdom Byway offers endless recreational opportunities, notable dining and lodging establishments, quintessential Vermont villages resplendent with classic New England architecture, and a rich diversity of galleries, museums, studios, unique shops, entertainment, and event venues.
