We spend a lot of time looking through Gazetteers, Almanacs & Directories that were published in the late 1800's and early 1900's. Many of the Gazetteers include the distance from a community such as North Newport to various places of note, such as the White House.

Footnotes ...

<1>Our distances are not driving distances, but are calculated as a 'straight-line' (or point-to-point) distance. A straight line distance ignores things like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line from Point A (ie- North Newport) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in North Newport. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 43.3887, Longitude: -72.2145       In this case, the coordinates for North Newport have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS).
