Local Attractions
Our surrounding area—known as the Upper Valley for its location on the Connecticut River—is at the heart of a region of spectacular natural beauty and extensive cultural resources. It offers year-round recreational opportunities: easy access to the river for boating and swimming, spectacular autumn foliage, and the best skiing in the eastern United States. Many participants enjoy e-biking with Hanover Adventure Tours, boating at the Ledyard Canoe Club, hiking one of our local trails, taking a class at King Arthur Baking, or spirits tasting at Whistle Pig Whiskey.
The Upper Valley is also well known for its family-friendly activities, including the Montshire Museum of Science, VINS Nature Center, and Billings Farm and Museum. Local farmers’ markets are popular and often feature musical entertainment, and there are many local camps nearby as well.
