Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:
Filled with antique stores and sandwiched between the Contoocook River and the mountains of western New Hampshire, Peterborough is a truly charming town with something to offer everyone. The MacDowell Colony artists' residence has turned the town into an art hub, and if you'd like some art to take home, stop by the New England Art Exchange. Of course, you need to spend some time enjoying the lovely nature as well, so go for a swim in Edward MacDowell Lake, explore the trails in Temple Mountain Reservation, or hike or drive up to the top of Pack Monadnock.
