State highways in Vermont

Vermont Route 121 (VT 121) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Vermont. The highway runs 21.439 miles (34.503 km) from VT 11 in Londonderry east to U.S. Route 5 (US 5) in the incorporated village of Bellows Falls in the town of Rockingham. VT 121 follows the Saxtons River in northern Windham County. The highway has a pair of gravel sections in the towns of Windham and Grafton.

VT 121 begins at an intersection with VT 11 in the hamlet of North Windham in the town of Londonderry. The highway heads south and follows the Middle Branch Williams River into its headwaters in the town of Windham. VT 121 curves east and enters the valley of the Saxtons River at the hamlet of Lawrence Four Corners. There, at its intersection with Hitchcock Hill Road and Windham Hill Road, the highway continues as a gravel road, which crosses the river four times before it enters the town of Grafton as Houghtonville Road. VT 121 becomes paved again west of the Houghtonville Historic District in the namesake village. East of Houghtonville, the highway becomes gravel again, curves south with the river, and crosses it three times, and passes to the east of the Middletown Rural Historic District and the constituent Park Farm. West of Hinkley Brook, the VT 121 becomes paved again, and the highway veers onto Main Street in the Grafton Village Historic District. The well-preserved village includes the Butterfield House, the Milldean and Alexander-Davis House, the Grafton Congregational Church and Chapel, the Grafton Post Office, and Grafton District Schoolhouse No. 2. VT 121 meets the north end of Kidder Hill Road, which leads to the Kidder Covered Bridge, crosses the Saxtons River, and intersects VT 35 (Chester Road).
