Welcome!
The Derry Rail Trail Alliance was formed to see the Derry
section of the old Manchester and Lawrence Branch of the Boston and Maine
Railroad turned into a recreational trail for cyclists and pedestrians.
Some of this trail has already been paved as part of the Derry Bike Path.
Our first goal is to see this path extended all the way to Windham to connect
to the Windham Rail Trail.
DRTA is to be a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
Donations are tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law. We
have submitted our IRS application for 501(c)(3). Our EIN (Federal Tax
ID) is 26-1251090. When we receive our official Letter of
Determination, we will post it here.
