Things To Do
White Mountains National Forest
Want to see some of the beauty that New Hampshire has to offer? Whether it's taking a hike, a drive, a train, or a tram, you can see beautiful mountain ranges, forests, rivers, caves, and gorges. I hear the train rides are especially beautiful...
Nubble Lighthouse
This is a beautiful part of Maine. Visit this little New England lighthouse, walk around along York beach, or stroll through the row of shops where you'll find great ice cream, knick-knacks, and fresh taffy. For fresh Maine lobster and seafood, visit Fox's Lobster House at Nubble Light.
Boston
Just an hour and a half south is the great city of Boston! Boston is full of history, brick buildings, and the best Italian food. Check out Mike's Pastries for an incredible cannoli, Carmelina's for great Italian food, Quincy Market for food and culture, Boston Common for a beautiful little park and garden, Boston Public Library to see some gorgeous architecture and art, or walk the Freedom Trail (link below) to soak up some history.
Robert Frost Farm State Historic Site
This is one of the Bride's favorite local attractions: The farm and household of the famous American poet, Robert Frost. You can walk a trail outside the home and see the natural inspiration of his poetry, or for a nominal fee, get a personal tour of the interior of his house. This is a great near-by attraction and especially exciting for history and literature enthusiasts.
Parker's Maple Barn
You've never lived until you've had fresh New Hampshire maple syrup. Even though maple season is just ended in April, there's still plenty of maple candy and syrup. This place is also a diner, and the food here is definitely worth the drive (especially if you're ordering the deep fried french toast, it's the Bride's favorite).
Tax Free Shopping
Tax Free Shopping! Check out the Mall of New Hampshire (address above and link below) and the strip of stores on South Willow Street in Manchester. Serious shoppers may enjoy taking a one hour drive up to the Tilton Outlet Stores.
