Things To Do

Main Street

Visit our historic downtown! check out all of the shops, grab a bite to eat, or find a good cup of coffee. Make sure to stop in Hannah Grimes, grab a coffee at Prime Roast, and check out the Art Corridor on Emerald St.

Beaver Brook Falls

One of our favorite, short walks. This walk boasts a waterfall, right in Keene City limits! This walk is right in our neighborhood, off of Concord Rd. and is about 1.5 miles round trip. The route is completely paved and quite easy, but offers a great scenic view. Make sure to stop along the way to take a look at The Old Man of Keene!

Chesterfield Gorge Natural Area

This is a great, moderate, few mile hike, a few minutes outside of Keene. Go enjoy the forest, look at the waterfalls, and enjoy the NH views!

Madame Sherri Forest

Madame Sherri is the most quintessential Cheshire County walk. The Madame Sherri Forest is named after a former owner, Madame Antoinette Sherri, a Paris-born theatrical costume designer who worked in New York City during the early 1900s. She and her husband built a French-inspired chateau summer house in Chesterfield that featured extensive stonework including a roman arch stairway, ornate interior, and designed landscape gardens. The house burned down completely in 1963. Today, ancient sugar maples surround a stone foundation and stairway, a large empty fireplace tapers to a freestanding chimney. The walk is mild and follows a small pond up to the remains of the estate. Additional trails are also available for further exploration!
