Because of the rail station, built in 1884 , Lewiston became important to surrounding towns on both sides of the Connecticut River, and to Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire. The coal Dartmouth used to heat its buildings came through this station. By the 1920s, however, the economic importance of Lewiston to the neighboring regions decreased; Dartmouth began using oil instead of coal, and all the mills in Lewiston were gone by 1930 . The railroad remains today. In 1967 , most of the remaining buildings of Lewiston were destroyed to be replaced with Interstate 91. The railroad, a Dartmouth College-owned pottery studio, and a small road off of McKenna Road, Lewiston Hill Road, make up some of the area where the center of the village of Lewiston was situated. Many of the buildings in that area are now owned by Dartmouth College. {Link without Title} Lewiston is located at , and its elevation is 387 feet. {Link without Title} |
