Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:
First settled in 1638, Exeter is a charming river town with tree-lined streets and a wonderfully walkable downtown core. The historic 1709 Gilman Garrison House is sometimes open to the public for tours, while Gilman Park and the Swasey Parkway are the perfect place to go if you want to enjoy New Hampshire’s natural beauty. The town was also the state's capital during the Revolution, and visitors can learn about this important part of the country's history at the American Independence Museum, which hosts a historic festival with a battle re-enactment at the end of every July.
