Norton/Stanhope Border Crossing, Vermont

The Norton/Stanhope border crossing is actually a double crossing. In addition to the manned crossing with dual Ports of Entry on Highway 114, there is another unmanned crossing nearby on Nelson Road. This is a rare remaining uncontrolled crossing, though it is closely monitored by cameras and sensors. People passing through here are required to check in at the nearby Ports of Entry, before proceeding on – so they might as well drive through on the main road to begin with. There is a house on the line here with two front doors, one on either side of the line. This used to be a store, where there were shelves and cash registers for the different goods available on either side.
