Beebe Plain Border Crossing, International border crossing in northeastern Vermont and southern Quebec.
The Beebe Plain Border Crossing is a road port of entry between northeastern Vermont and southern Quebec, marked by a brick building with a covered entry area over the travel lane. The station has five processing bays with sash windows for handling vehicles crossing in both directions.
The building was completed in 1937 and is part of a group of twelve border stations built between 1931 and 1937 in the Georgian Revival style. That style was adopted as a standard design for American border facilities along the northern boundary during the Great Depression.
Canusa Street runs directly along the border, with houses on one side in the United States and houses on the other side in Canada. Residents who want to visit a neighbor across the street must go through an official border crossing to do so.
The crossing is open around the clock and does not use specialized programs like NEXUS or FAST. Travelers should carry valid travel documents and expect possible waits when traffic is heavy.
From 1864 until the early 1900s, an international post office with two separate doors operated at this spot, one for American customers and one for Canadian customers. That setup let both countries offer postal services side by side without requiring anyone to formally cross the border.
