Waits River, from which the village takes its name, passes to the south

Waits River is a village in the town of Topsham, Vermont. Located alongside a river of the same name, the village of Waits River is made up of a number of residential homes, several barns and sheds, and a white Methodist church.[1] Waits River Schoolhouse, an early 20th century building which is now a private residence, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.[2]

Waits River Schoolhouse

Photographs of the village during the foliage season have been popular since at least the 1960s,[citation needed] and scenic images of the village have appeared in jigsaw puzzles, calendars and postcards.[citation needed] Postcards of this type have been published since at least 1914.[3]

A painting of Waits River is featured on the album Fred Waring & His Pennsylvanians - The Sounds of Christmas (Release date: 1959). [4]
