While New Hampshire's transportation officials have been working on upcoming projects like the E-Z Pass system and the Insterstate 93 widening, historian James Garvin has been looking back. We'll talk with him about the earliest highway systems in the state and how they still affect modern travel and culture. Garvin is the author of "On the Road North of Boston: New Hampshire Taverns and Turnpikes 1700-1900". We'll also talk with inventor Russ Lanoie, who spends his lots of his time maintaining dirt roads around Maine and New Hampshire.
