The adjacent volunteer fire department has reportedly purchased the remains of the Depot building and thus the restoration of the building is apparently underway as a civic effort.
A spot check made on May 19, 1998 suggests that the trail is open and usable in both directions from this point.
A
specific parking area has not been designated at this location
for trail users. However, parking space is apparently
available on the grass behind the Fitzwilliam Depot building.
Cars left on nearby streets must be positioned so that they do
not interfere with fire engines from the
adjacent fire station!
A convenience store is located across the street from the Depot
building.
Vermont
Transit (#1990) serves the settlement of Fitzwilliam
at the Fitzwilliam Inn (1.2 miles northeast of depot) on a daily basis with
intercity bus service between Boston, Keene, Brattleboro, and
Rutland (#1990). Note that northbound busses do
not stop except to discharge passengers. Since Fitzwilliam is not listed as an agency station,
it is unlikely that checked baggage and bicycles in boxes
will be handled at this stop.
The Fitzwilliam
Public Library is located on the Village green, presumably in
or near the Fitzwilliam Common Historic District (1.2 miles northeast?).
