Vermont Welcome Center Timber Frame Trusses

Timberpeg is proud to be supplying the timber frame trusses for the new Vermont Welcome Center being built on I-91 Southbound in Hartford, VT. The existing welcome center was outdated and in need of repair, and in an effort to encourage tourism, the state of Vermont chose to re-build the welcome center. After-all the center welcomed over 217,000 visitors in 2010 alone – and what better way to welcome visitors to the region than by building with the time-honored New England building tradition of timber framing.

Timberpeg was selected to provide the large timber frame trusses to support the open ceiling structure. The space will feel welcome, strong and secure when completed, and Timberpeg is proud to have a role in this project. Whether visitors will be coming here to New England for ski season, leaf peeping, hiking, hunting, camping or biking – we’re happy to play our part in welcoming guests to our beautiful neck of the woods.

Here is a photo of the timber frame trusses leaving our manufacturing facility in Claremont, NH on their way to the job site in Hartford, VT.
