Dixville Notch is in New Hampshire.   :-)

(In fact, I'm not at all sure that any place except New Hampshire uses 
"notch" for a pass through the mountains.  I don't recall having seen 
notches on maps of Vermont.  Dixville Notch is the name both of such a 
pass (the northernmost in the state) and of a town in the notch.)
