Lyman Point, White River Junction, Vermont Here it is. The new website for Old Roads, Rivers and Rails! Dear Subscibers, friends and visitors, Were it not for your interest, support, and kind words, the new Old Roads, Rivers and Rails site would not exist. A lot of work has gone into this endeavor in the last several weeks, and I'm excited to bring Old Roads, Rivers and Rails of the Upper Valley to loyal subscribers, and to the general public. Here is the correct link to go directly to the new website: https://oldroadsuppervalley.weebly.com This site is public, and free. The main page is also the blog page. To see the blog posts, simply scroll down, and click on the title of the post you wish to view. On a computer, to the right of the blog, you will see months listed. Postings from those months can be accessed there. (This may not be available on a phone or iPod though, in which case, just scroll down from the home page.) Other pages in the site are as follows, and are listed along the top of the site. Simply click on one of these pages to view them. About Subscribe/Contact Maps and Links (links to other sites with maps and trails and such) Sponsors (Information for potential sponsors) Cemeteries I am hoping the site will evolve and grow, as time goes on. Please share the site with friends you think might also be interested, and help grow our subscriber base. I'm happy to say we are starting out with 103 subscribers. (128 subscribers as of 1/2/2019) I love the upper valley, its history, and its geography. I also love maps, especially old ones that show interesting clues to our past. Hiking to find features found on vintage maps is a favorite pastime. Searching for old schoolhouses, foundations, cemeteries, mill sites, mines, town and county boundaries, abandoned settlements and roads, can be very rewarding. The big push for me was to get this website up and running before December 31st, and to include in it, archival material from 2019 posts. Special thanks to all 101 subscribers I have heard from in recent weeks. Without your kind words, encouragement, and support, this site would not exist. - Bob Totz Dec. 29th, 2019 Upper Valley: 1913 USGS Imagery
