The Transportation Heritage Trail new extension from Eastern Ave. to Route 101 is now open!
The Transportation Heritage Trail (THT) is the next chapter in the ongoing
development of Keene's beloved Cheshire Rail Trail System. It picks up where the previously completed Industrial Heritage Trail (IHT) leaves off near Eastern Avenue – extending the trail network southward and reconnecting a historic transportation corridor that once spanned from the Massachusetts border to the Vermont border. The project took shape through a strong partnership between the City of Keene and Pathways for Keene (PFK), a local nonprofit. As early as September 2020, the City of Keene Heritage Commission formally endorsed the project, recognizing its potential to provide recreation, economic, health, and transportation benefits while celebrating Keene's local history and heritage. The City was selected for both a Congressionally Directed Spending grant and a Transportation Alternatives grant, together funding 80% of this phase of the project which constructed approximately one mile of trail from Eastern Avenue to the north side of Route 101. The result is a safe, accessible trail corridor for walkers, cyclists, and the broader community.
“Plaid Friday” is a great way to enjoy Keene and support downtown businesses during the construction project. Only 4 Fridays to go (also, Plaid Friday is a free-parking day; time limits still apply). We’ll see you there!
