The history of Newport is a walk down memory lane. On the shores of Lake Memphremagog.

A walking tour was dedicated in Newport on this day in 2002. It was, quite literally, an impressive step toward publicizing the area's vast history.

The historic walking tour features ten historic markers along the waterfront of Lake Memphremagog and Newport's Main Street. The markers include stories and historic images depicting life in Newport. Some of the information dates back to the Abenakis.

The information on the markers is written in both English and French. This walking tour was funded by Vermont, the Alnobak Heritage Preservation Center, and the Memphremagog Historical Society of Newport.
