The
Association has published an illustrated guide book complete with
fold-out maps and directions to the more than 70 markers which dot the
old Crown Point Road from Charlestown, NH to Bridport, VT. This is
essentially a driver’s guide designating mileage between markers and a
brief history of each location. The newly available 2011 Edition guide
book has a spiral binding and
contains useful information about the history of the old military
road.
The Association does not recommend the use of the book as a hiking guide. For authenticity it is preferable to join a hike conducted by knowledgeable CPRA members. These hikes are conducted throughout the summer months. This year's schedule is outlined on the "Calendar" page of this website.
Also
available is the second edition of the Rev. Samuel MacClintock's
Journal, 1760 reprinted and revised by Barbara M. Jones for
the Crown Point Road Association and the Old Fort No. 4 Associates in
2001. Printing of this 62 page paperback booklet was originally
implemented by former Historian Emeritus of the Association Flora B.
Weeks in 1972. A mystery has surrounded the journal for years and the
booklet is a printed transcript of the journal with historical
annotations regarding the construction and use of the Crown Point
Road during the period 1754-1763.
