Boston Logan is the easiest airport to fly into; from Boston, Etna is a two-hour drive north. Manchester airport is about one hour closer.
Cape Air also offers short flights from Boston to Lebanon, NH, which is 15 minutes outside of Etna.
The Dartmouth Coach offers a (very pleasant) bus directly from Boston (Logan airport and South Station) to Hanover and Lebanon, NH – the towns directly next to Etna.
All the typical car rentals are available at Logan. We’ve also had success with Turo car rentals, which have proven much more affordable.

The field at the venue
Famed Ivy League college founded in 1769. Their mascot is a moose... or a keg, not sure.
Take in verdant forests, lakes, and really really tall hills the locals call "mountains."
King Arthur Flour headquarters is right across the river in Norwich, VT.
Covered bridges, bearded people, cheese, and dilapidated barns
Watch people puff expensive glassware into existence in an old mill beside a covered bridge.
VINS is the permanent home of golden eagles, falcons, and owls that have been injured.
Local museum of life and science with exhibits and walking trails.
Hit up the Saturday morning farmer's market in Norwich, just across the river from Hanover.
Rest and replenish your spirit after your travels with an ale at the Norwich Inn (325 Main St., Norwich, VT 05055) from 7 to 9pm. Shuttles will be provided (see below).
Fun summer cocktail attire. Aquire that thing you have always wanted but didn't have an excuse to get.
Think colorful jumpsuits, summery florals, breathable linens, that girded tunic you've wanted to barter the goat herder for. Just no peasant jeans.
No, who else would be tending your crops and feeding your animals while you revel?
Should they be yet weened and not yet fit for their first harvest and thus in your company, we can help finding an elder to watch over them during the festivities. Contact Sean, Carly, or Mary (but preferably Carly or Mary).
Shuttles will be running to and from both the Friday and Saturday events, picking up at all main lodging areas (Hanover, Lebanon, and Lyme). It's our wish to make these celebrations carefree, and Ubers are scarce in such remote country, especially after the recent plague.
Additionally, both venues have limited parking and stables, so shuttles are your optimal choice. There is a 10 hr parking lot as well as a parking garage in Hanover near the shuttle pickup. Full details and schedules will be posted prior to the events.
It is now prior to the events, hence please see link for shuttle schedules to and from Friday welcome drinks and the ceremony and reception on Saturday.
but if you wish to give us stuff or donate in our name, we'll accept that too.
