A long and beautiful updated covered bridge down a back road that has wonderful views of the river…read more This bridge is still in use so it is pretty fun to drive through. The view from the nearby signage on the Vermont side gives you a full view of the length of this massive covered bridge with its beautiful backdrop of country side and river. Definitely worth a side trip from downtown Lancaster to give yourself a bit of history.

Not sure hope one reviews a covered bridge. If you want to cross, bring a passenger vehicle, not a…read morecommercial truck. If your vehicle is taller, wider, or heavier than the signs allow, bring your personal flotation device because you might go swimming. Also please make sure your insurance is paid up. Repairing covered bridges damaged by over sized vehicles is very expensive. So if you don't have a passenger vehicle, STAY OFF THE BRIDGE!

When you visit St Jay, be sure to visit - or literally go through the "Honk Tunnel"…read more The Tunnel is a small tunnel on Bay Street which goes under the railroad tracks and connects you back to Railroad street. Its SMALL and a BLIND tunnel - only room for 1 car at a time, so before proceeding through, you must HONK your car horn and LISTEN for other honkers before proceeding through. Be wary, as many fender benders have happened here. And within seconds, its over- now you been though the famous HONK Tunnel. Thank you.

I've been coming to Littleton for so many years... and I had no idea they had a bridge where you…read morecan place a love lock, until I recently saw a post on social media about it! Thanks to that person - I was so thrilled! Of course I had to get a lock and drag Boyfriend there this weekend (he was actually very interested about the bridge itself, if not the lock, lol). Super cute spot... go down to the river from behind the bank/war memorial, it's a short 5 minute walk. Beautiful views of the river. And I'll be back to visit my lock

Wow, is this downtown gorgeous! So many new shops, dogs and kids, young, and elderly, wandering and…read moreenjoying all it has to offer. I wandered into the toy and book shop and was greeted by a sweet doodle breed who is their mascot. S/he was so cute if it stood still you would think it was a stuffed. Noticed some dog bowls on the sidewalk and a new K9 store opened recently. Way to go Littleton!!​ The flowers hanging along the street and people playing pianos are a wonderful touch. Thank you for the experience!

We visited Littleton, NH (about an hour from our house) and -- though the city seems great and…read morethere being a bunch of spots we'd have loved to explode (including Schilling Brewing) -- we couldn't stay as our very well behaved Great Dane wasn't welcome anywhere. It's fine as you all can have whatever rules you would like. But unlike other spots in the state -- where outdoor places for coffee or beer tasting welcome our pooch -- we weren't successful in Littleton. The painted paws on the sidewalk (suggesting dog friendliness) seemed to us to be out of place. All said: #OskarTheGreatDane still gives it three stars with hopes of visiting again when conditions are different.

It should've been easy just off Highway 93 (Exit 34B)... this rock formation on the top of Cannon Mountain was supposed to resemble a human's face above Profile Lake but is no longer there. If collapsed on May 2003 due to natural forces.. I did search for old photos of it from the internet... hmm, interesting! and, yes, that's the fabled stone face! The museum was closed at the time but I followed a nice paved trail, a scenic pathway to Profile Lake and The Old Man of the Mountain Profiler Plaza. There at the end of the trail were a series of seven large steel rods which pointed towards the cliff where the Old Man once was... hmm, okaaaay, Instructions were posted near the rods. This monument allows a new and unique experience in viewing the Old Man of the Mountain. Here is the interactive instructions: FIND the granite stone engraved with the number closest to your height (3-7 feet) STAND on the engraved footprints on that stone SIGHT ALONG the profiler rod in front of you with one eye closed, and align the bumps on the side of the rod THE PROFILE WILL COME INTO VIEW just as it once was, high on the cliff There are a bunch of interesting reads on the plaza. Beautiful engraved granite pavers and benches too. Amazing views at Profile Lake. Review #3041

The craved wood staircases, the built for the ages book coves, and the wooden floors that seem to speak. But the library has two other wonderful surprises. The up-to-date collection of books, magazines, and other publications. The locals must love this place as I, a visitor, immediately loved it. Last but not least is the Art collection. The Library itself has several well-placed paintings that blend in with the furniture and neighboring books. The separate Art collection, in a separate climate-controlled room, was a wonderful well-thought-out collection of masterpieces. As a frequent art museum visitor, especially in my hometown of Houston Texas, I was surprised to find the same artist's work here in St Johnsbury as in the art museum in the 4th largest city, especially in the U.S. The Athenarum's stated mission "is to promote life-long learning through art, literature and information services, and to preserve its National Historic Landmark building, art collection, and furnishings." It certainly accomplishes that and so much more. Congratulations! Ed Davis 7/6/24

We attended the Littleton Pie Festival and the Art Show on the grounds by the statue and community center this weekend. It was a great time and the pies were delicious!

I came across the information about the statue in my research when I was planning a Santa's village weekend. I then knew I was going to Rey and make a sighting happened. Saturday morning. 3 inches of snow on the ground and our cabin has no breakfast. Crum Bum (bakery) hit my radar. I parked directly across the street from Crum and I saw the Polyanna Gateway! Then I thought, where is the statue and just beyond my husband's truck, there she was! It was meant to be! I happily went up the large step, took a photo of her and then us together. I then sent the photos to my Mom!

It's a short 15-minute trail to the observation deck. you need to climb 3 stories height stairs to reach the top. on a clear day, you can see part of Canada (if you figure out where it is :P ), and neighboring states. I just took this opportunity to take some zoom-in fall photos. it was too windy, but the 360-degree view was totally worth it. it has an antenna on it, so there is a caution board, do not try to climb it.
