The Richford-Abercorn Border Crossing connects the town of Abercorn, Quebec with the Richford, Vermont. A crossing has existed at this location long before the advent of the automobile. The US border station was built in 1935. Prior to that, the US Customs Service rented space in several buildings in downtown Richford. Canada has had a Customs office in Abercorn since 1845.[1] The current Canadian border station was built in 1966. Both border stations are open 24/7. The 1935 US border station was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.
