The Monadnock Region of South West New Hampshire



Print
Are you looking for fun and exciting things to do in New Hampshire for vacation? Enjoy this New Hampshire travel article to help you plan your New Hampshire travel itinerary!

In the South West corner of New Hampshire is the quaint city of Keene. It is located on Route 101, between Brattleboro Vermont, and Nashua New Hampshire. This drive is one of the loveliest scenic routes in all of Southern New Hampshire.

Keene, in the heart of the picturesque Monadnock region, is a New England college town. It has the widest main street in the U.S.A., and it’s lined with a nice variety of shops, and restaurants. Keene has become known for its annual carved pumpkin festival each October, and they hold the Guinness World record for the most carved pumpkins in one location. It’s a well attended event with music, street vendors, and fireworks.

The nearby Colony Mill Mall Marketplace is a historic woolen mill that has been renovated into a delightful shopping experience, housing a careful balance of unique specialty shops, including a large antique center. The old wooden floors creak as you stroll through the shops.

Plan to spend a couple of days in Keene, so that you can enjoy a scenic drive, through the nearby villages. Visit Dublin, and see the little red building where Yankee Magazine is published. Continue on to nearby Peterborough where artisans are well known for their arts and published works. In Jaffrey, climb Mount Monadnock, the most climbed mountain in the United States, and finish up with a dip in Thorndike Pond, or Lake Contoocook, and a homemade ice cream at the famous Kimball’s restaurant and ice cream shop.

Go, enjoy a trip to Keene, and experience the beauty of the Monadnock Region along the way.
