New England Interstate Route 10
New England Route 10 was a multi-state north–south state highway in the New England region of the United States, running through Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire. "Route 10" still exists as a continuous state highway in each of its original states, running from New Haven, Connecticut to Woodsville, New Hampshire. Its number dates from 1922, when it was a New England Interstate Route, also known as the Central New England Route.
Route 10 is often called the College Highway because it links Yale University, Trinity College, Mount Holyoke College, Smith College, Amherst College, the University of Massachusetts and Dartmouth College. Yale and Dartmouth are in the Ivy League and Smith and Mount Holyoke are in the Seven Sisters group of exclusive women's colleges.

A high church for the true mediocre.”

“By a route obscure and lonely,
Haunted by ill angels only,
Where an eidolon, named Night,
On a black throne reigns upright,
I have reached these lands but newly
From an ultimate dim Thule—
From a wild weird clime that lieth, sublime,
Out of space—out of time.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
