What Easton lacks in size (only 31.2 sq. miles), it more than makes up for in charm and beauty! I had driven through Easton probable hundreds of times and never knew it. Rt. 112 cuts through the lower corner of Easton. There are several wayside areas, picnic spots and trailheads along Rt. 112, but I […]

Dalton
My first stop in Dalton was accidental. I was actually touring Whitefield when I took a side road and found myself at Forest Lake State Park. The morning was overcast, but it is easy to imagine people enjoying the lake and picnic areas. It was early June when I was there and the wildflowers were […]
Lyman
I wasn’t quite sure what to expect as I drove into Lyman. A glance at the map showed a couple bodies of water, lots of hills and mountains and a few roads with neat names… As with many of the other towns I have visited recently, farming seems to be the major way of life […]
Landaff
Landaff has quite a history, twice its citizens voted to become part of Vermont. Luckily for us New Hampshirites, in 1781, when Vermont was about to become the 14th state, the Continental Congress told Vermont they had to relinquish all towns east of the Connecticut River and Landaff (along with 33 other towns) were “returned” […]
Monroe
The beautiful town of Monroe is situated along the eastern shore of the Connecticut River. As with most of the towns along the river, Monroe abounds with farms and fields. I didn’t have to look very far to find some wonderful barns and farms… As I was driving along, I spotted a heron at the […]
Sugar Hill
Sugar Hill has so much to brag about, I don’t even know where to begin! Several years ago, Steve and I heard about a festival we knew we had to visit. The Sugar Hill Lupine Festival. While lupines can be found all over, Sugar Hill has made a point of celebrating the riot of purple […]
Bethlehem
We’ve just returned from a two week stay at Apple Hill Campground in Bethlehem, NH. What a time we had! Despite the fact we began our adventure on Memorial Day weekend, Apple Hill was a peaceful place to retreat after a day of touring. Before we even got Waldo settled in, I got to see […]
Londonderry
My youngest son, Jake, lives in Londonderry, so I couldn’t begin to count the number of times I have been there, but it wasn’t until yesterday I realized everything Londonderry has to offer. It literally has something for everyone. Jake and I had dinner plans, so I thought I’d spend the day really getting to […]
Plainfield
It’s been a several weeks since we visited Plainfield, so this post won’t showcase the beautiful fall foliage, but Plainfield still has plenty to offer! I bet the sweeping vistas are now ablaze with color… . Folks in town certainly have fun with the fact Rum Brook meanders its way through town, after all, what […]
New Boston
It has been over 25 years since I lived in New Boston. Like so many other places I have lived, I never really explored very much. I knew about the obvious things such as Dodge’s Store… The Molly Stark Tavern… And the beautiful town common… . I also knew Route 13 follows the south branch […]
