A group of passionate com- munity members started a 501-c-3 not for profit organiza- tion-The Friends of the Northern Rail Trail to improve, maintain and promote the Northern Rail
Trail, a multi-use 4-season rail trail open to all.
They have an active board and volunteer group! They rely on the generous donations of community members and grants to fund their work.
To learn more about the Rail Trail, check out their website at www.fnrt.org or find them on Facebook and Instagram. You can sign up for their newsletter and make a donation on the website. If online giving isn’t your thing, you can mail checks to Friends of the Northern Rail Trail, PO Box 2064, New Lon- don, NH 03257.
You can also go to your local library or bookstore and find “New Hampshire Rail Trails,” written by Charles F. Martin. The book is full of information on historical sites along the trail, maps, and in-depth descriptions of the trail.
Happy exploring!
