Canadians can visit the Haskell Free Library and Opera House without crossing through a U.S. border checkpoint, thanks to a new entrance on the Canadian side.
A ceremony held on Wednesday officially inaugurated the new door at the historic library, which straddles the border between Stanstead, Que., and Derby Line, Vt. The new entrance was built after U.S. authorities last year ended a century-old arrangement that allowed Canadians to enter from the American side without a passport or customs inspection.
