Welcome to Monadnock

With its distinctive covered bridges, steepled, white churches and rolling, green hills, you’ll feel as if you’ve stepped back in time when you visit the Southwest region of Monadnock. Mount Monadnock, for which the region is named, is where the likes of Mark Twain, Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau sought inspiration. You too will be inspired by the miles of hiking trails, year-round camping, and, of course, the magnificent views! Truly turn back the clocks at the annual Living History Event in Hillsborough. Ride a horse and buggy, pan for gold and watch a cannon demonstration to experience how America’s forefathers lived their lives. Then, stop by Frye’s Measure Mill in Wilton to pick up an authentic Shaker box to store your Monadnock memories!
