Welcome to White River Junction

In the heart of Vermont’s Upper Valley, White River Junction is a walkable, historic town where creativity thrives. Once a bustling railroad hub, it’s now home to galleries, theaters, local shops, and cozy cafés—all just steps apart.

Blending small-town charm with big artistic energy, it’s a place to slow down, explore, and connect. With Dartmouth College and Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center just across the river, the area hums with culture, innovation, and community spirit.

A historic red brick building with arched windows sits on the corner of South Main Street in a small town. The architecture features decorative brickwork and green window trim. A streetlamp, bench, and sidewalk are visible in the foreground, with more buildings and green hills in the background.
A wide river flows calmly beneath an old railroad bridge supported by concrete piers. The bridge is surrounded by lush green trees, with a forested hill rising in the background under an overcast sky.
