Steeped in history and home to one of the country’s most prestigious schools, Exeter has something to offer all visitors. Historians should not miss touring the American Independence Museum, which is housed in a building dating back to 1721, and the very interesting Gilman Garrison House Museum which is even older. Visitors can also tour the campus of the Phillips Exeter Academy , a fine co-educational school which dates back to the 18th century. When hunger strikes you can enjoy great food and coffee at Me and Ollie’s Café or excellent farm-to-fork cuisine at Otis Restaurant.
