Places to Visit In New Hampshire: Hanover Inn
There are many wonderful places to visit in New Hampshire during all seasons of the year. The Hanover Inn is the oldest continuous business in the state of New Hampshire, first opening its doors to guests in 1780. Today, The Hanover Inn is a modern, luxurious hotel with 108 spaciously-appointed guest rooms and access to the best cultural, educational, and recreational activities that New Hampshire has to offer.
The Hanover Inn is located on the beautiful Dartmouth College campus. Our Inn offers an unforgettable view of Dartmouth College’s historic Baker Library Bell Tower, modeled after Independence Hall in Philadelphia. The Hopkins Center for the Arts, a dynamic performing arts center, and the Hood Museum of Art, with an extensive collection dating back to the early years of Dartmouth College, are adjacent to our Inn.
A few minutes travel from The Hanover Inn is the Lebanon Opera House, an 800-seat performing arts facility. Nearby is the Northern Stage Theater, an award-winning professional theater company. Across the Connecticut River in Norwich, Vermont visitors can enjoy the Montshire Museum of Science, a hands-on museum with more than 125 exhibits. For those guests with a bent for baking, the King Arthur Flour Company Store and Baking School are not to be missed. King Arthur, founded in Boston in 1790, is America’s oldest flour company.
Slightly farther afield, the Billings Farm & Museum offers first-hand experiences of a working dairy farm, centered on the restored 1890 Farm House in Woodstock, Vermont. The farm is situated on the Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historic Park. Traveling south and across state lines will lead to the beautiful Saint-Gaudens National Historic Site in Cornish New Hampshire. Visitors can see the home, studios, gardens, and many works of Augustus Saint-Gaudens, one of America’s preeminent sculptors.
