Offering a wealth of outdoors wonders both in winter and summer, the White Mountains are a thrill for all seasons.

Explore over 200 years of rural living as we preserve the agricultural way of life in New Hampshire. Discover agricultural practices, rural traditions, and important contributions of the country doctor.

As a working farm, the buildings are an integral part of the Museum and include milk, ice, and maple sugar houses. The story of the farm comes to life as you tour the property, engage with farm animals and witness daily chores. Take in gardens, walking trails and views of Mt. Chocorua. Tour the Capt. Enoch Remick House—on the National Register of Historic Places—which contains the original doctors' office and apothecary. 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.

I have been to the North Conway Club on several different occasions, and have not experienced the atmosphere the lower rated reviewers described. Given the atmosphere described, as well as mention of an outside train, it sounds like they may have confused the club with a hobby store which was formerly located a few miles up the road. The folks at this club have worked hard to accurately model scenes from the railroad which their club is located next to. Some of the scratch built models are fantastic!
