the old train depot site

The town has been a crossing point for vital water, road and rail routes for two centuries. Atop the depot's cupola, a weathervane features a small engine and tender steaming into the wind.

Center for Cartoon Studies

All the main operational and educational facilities of the Center for Cartoon Studies are located in the former Colodny’s Surprise Department Store Building. Built in 1929, the building is the only Art Deco building in downtown White River Junction, and is built partially with Antique Verde marble quarried from Rochester, Vermont.  CCS inhabits the first floor and basement of the building and includes multiple offices, a classroom, and an "open basement studio."  (Info courtesy of Wikipedia)
