Route 5 is a Federal highway which once
was a heavily traveled north/south traffic road through
New England, extending from Route 1 in New Haven, Connecticut,
to the Canadian border in Vermont. Progress and super
highways have changed all that. Old Route 5 has now
become a quiet, almost forgotten, blacktop country road
as it winds its way through the villages and towns of
New England. This painting (Old Route 5) depicts what
is left today of an old country store and gas station,
that once thrived along that road in Whately, Massachusetts.
