2. The Frost Place
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 62 reviews
The Frost Place is a nonprofit educational center for poetry and the arts based at Robert Frost’s old homestead, which is owned by the town of Franconia, New Hampshire. Besides serving as a sanctuary for lovers of poetry and books, it is also a museum. Unlike typical modern museums, you won’t find at The Frost Place fancy multi-media displays or cafés, but if you come seeking a glimpse and a sense of the kind of place where a young poet could concentrate, and where his four children could range through the woods and orchards and discover the world, The Frost Place can still offer such pleasures. The view from the porch which inspired Frost is stunning and open to the public year round.

I've visited Frost's other New Hampshire and Vermont homes but this one touched me the most. It was moving to be in his writing room, see the view that inspired him, and stroll the farm path that has his poems posted. Plus, the guide's talk was quite informative. It's striking how isolated and independent his family had to be through the brutal New Hampshire winters.

Explore over 200 years of rural living as we preserve the agricultural way of life in New Hampshire.

Conveniently nestled in a "less traveled" area between the White Mountains and Lakes Region, interactive experiences occur each season. Open year-round.

My family of 6 was staying up at our family house on Lake Ossipee, and we decided it was time we try visiting the extremely inexpensive Remick's. The farmhouse was quite a set up with little exhibits and write-ups documenting the history of the farm and Remick and his family, and we got to see a number of people sewing and knitting in one of the rooms, which was nice. That tour of history was just the start. We emerged outside and we were immediately impressed with the large pasture land out back. We were invited over to see a goat being milked, and it was very cute. My kids were even able to help milk the goat! And then we got to see another goat be bottle-fed some extra milk, which was adorable. We then walked around and visited the herb garden where one of the volunteers walked us around the garden, discussing the different herbs and flowers, and everyone just loved that. We visited with the hogs and goats and other animals, and then we took a half-mile walk around the whole property down a trail that encircled the different fields. That was truly enjoyable, and when we got back, we paused at a couple of the old buildings and then ate a lunch under a tent with picnic tables. Overall, a wonderful hour or two at this hidden oasis filled with great people.
5. St. Anne's Church
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 14 reviews
This grand, historic Roman Catholic Church located in downtown Berlin, New Hampshire is over a century old. Built by French-Canadian immigrants seeking to create a solitary monument to the beauty of their faith amongst the utilitarian milltown surroundings, its simple, Romanesque brick exterior is contrasted by the awe-inspiring Italian Baroque artwork with Romanesque flares in its interior.

I attended a funeral there last week. Absolutely beautiful church. They were set up beautifully for social distancing with benches corded off with white ribbons so only every third row was accessible to use.

This bridge is on Valley Road which is off of Wild Ammonoosuc Road spanning the Ammonoosuc River. The bridge is single lane and unpainted. There are pull-offs for parking. It is NH bridge #29. Don't miss the waterfall next to the bridge.

This was my first covered bridge ever!! It was very beautiful and quite possibly the largest one I saw during my time in New England! The surrounding scenery is just gorgeous, especially if you visit during the height of the fall foliage. The bridge was built in 1858 and seems to be in remarkably excellent condition. There are nice pathways with information plaques along the way that talk about the bridge and life at the time of construction etc. It’s a heavily visited bridge just off The Kanc highway - I was surprised at how many people were there. There’s plenty of parking and the paths are well maintained. There’s also some benches along the river and lots of places to hike around for great photo ops!

We were staying in the area to visit the ice castles and despite it being ski season, there isn't a lot open for non-skiers to do. I had read about the Betty & Barney Hill Mural tribute to their first reported alien abduction in 1961 on the app Roadside America (which gives you offbeat & odd roadside attractions where you are), so we went looking for it. We got a kick out of seeing the mural and reading all the old newspaper articles that are in the the gas station! You can also commemorate your visit with the purchase of an alien tee shirt. While we did enjoy the trip due to the lack of things open in the winter season, I suspect the busy summer/fall season there would be much more worthwhile things to do, so I wouldn't recommend making a special trip during those seasons. But if you are looking for something, it's definitely odd!!
