The West Lebanon and Hanover Greenway is a collaboration between volunteers and municipal staff from Lebanon and Hanover to fulfill one of the key visions in the West Lebanon Action Plan, a safe multimodal route along the Route 10 corridor between the communities. The vision is a three-mile trail that brings the people of West Lebanon and Hanover together. Friends of Lebanon Recreation, Arts, and Parks is a steward of financial support, as the project seeks donations and grant assistance to develop plans. City of Lebanon Engineer Rod Finley is supporting the project by coordinating with consultants to conduct a feasibility analysis of different alternatives for the greenway route. The feasibility study consultant will present the project to our community at a Public House Event. Stop by to share your thoughts and ideas!

I remember reading a history of the Northern Rail Road as it came through “The Cut” in Enfield. ” The Cut” was a rocky area that was being cut through by hand and was taking a very long time. There was much work to be accomplished on the Northern side of the area and those responsible for that work were eager to get beyond The Cut. The decision was made to move the engine to north of The Cut by oxen ao that work could progress beyond.

This is similar to our current circumstances. We have not yet been able to make our way beyond the current Glen Road ending of the MRG. While we figure this out, can we be working on other parts that will connect us to Vermont and to Hanover? Can we be working our way North and West? The Bridge Park work was an attempt to hop over the impasse and continue to work our way beyond.

BTW, I will have to admit that I had thought the idea of a Connecticut River monster was a recent imagining . . . but such stories have circulated since the early 1800s! Learn More
