The North Troy–Highwater Border Crossing connects the town of Highwater, Quebec with North Troy, Vermont. Canada first established a Customs operations for this crossing in 1844, when it opened an office four miles north in the town of Potton. In 1933, the office was moved to its present location at the border.[1] The US border station was constructed shortly thereafter. Canada rebuilt its station in 1966, and the US rebuilt its station in 2009. The historic elements of the US border station were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.
