The Norton–Stanhope Border Crossing connects the towns of Stanhope, Quebec and Norton, Vermont. There is now just one road that connect these communities:
- Route 147, where the US and Canadian border stations are located.
Another road formerly connected these communities:
- Rue Principale in Quebec became Nelson Road in the United States, winding its way to the rear of the Norton, VT Border station. However, by mid-2015 the border was blocked with bollards.
There once was a general store on the boundary on Rue Principale, which also served liquor during Prohibition in the United States. It featured two cash registers, one on either side of the boundary to serve the customers of each respective country.[1] While the building still stands, it is no longer in business.
The US border station was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.
