Stopped in for dinner as this store has a very large selection of ready to eat foods. It is more than just a supermarket, they have a nice wine section and a huge beer selection. Everything was spotless clean and the staff were super friendly. We got a couple of salads, a rotisserie chicken, and a nice bottle of wine for less than $30. We would recommend.

Pollyanna of Littleton Statue

A Welcome Wave. Arms flung wide. Pollyanna of Littleton - New Hampshire's most welcoming attraction is the centerpiece of historic downtown as an ambassador of cheer and community spirit for residents and visitors alike. Littleton's jubilant bronze sculpture tributes hometown author, Eleanor H. Porter (1868 – 1920) best remembered as the creator of the world's most optimistic character, Pollyanna, 1913. Eleanor Hodgman Porter’s early residence was in Littleton, and not so far from the Library front lawn…where fittingly Pollyanna, Littleton’s sculpture presides in an artistic and symbolic place “welcoming residents and visitors.” POLLYANNA is welcoming...the open-air Fine Art Sculpture in her energetic pose, popular with photographers, is cheerful and inviting for families, groups and individuals. One's own welcoming Wave and full smile, chin-up -- matching Pollyanna -- makes a great "selfie'.

The theme of Pollyanna has been carried throughout Littleton...it's a spirit that unites the entire town and trickles down to the folks that visit there...you will leave with a smile on your face!

Took my Labrador here for the first time. It was a great short hike, a little bit of a hill, but not bad. They also provide strategically placed benches if you need to rest from the hill. At the end is a nice view of Littleton with a place to stop and enjoy a picnic!

Northern Lights Music

Reviewed By Gerry1066 - Glens Falls, United States

Folks I just wanna be honest with my review. I am a guitar player and not as good as I would like to be but I do play every day. I also have a pretty costly guitar collection, 11 total. Because I am kinda spoiled with really nice guitars I only look for high end guitars. I was visiting on vacation and was told about the store. And went on trip advisor to check out what people say. Some of the reviews where mixed I must say. But I did see they seemed to have a good inventory, so I stopped in the store. First for a small country town music store the store is amazing!!! And a really impressive high end guitar inventory. I just couldn't believe it. Second the gentlemen who help me who I came to realize was the owner was very helpful. I mean folks, this man is a nice guy. And he really knows his stuff and made me feel very comfortable. I tend to be very shy about playing for people but he handled the whole experience perfectly. He helped me play many guitars and explained every guitar for me. I gotta tell you I loved his guitars, all had good strings on to hear the guitar at its best and all in perfect condition. It was a pleasure playing his stuff. Also another plus was I felt he walked a real fine line of trying to sell a guitar without pressure. And really trying to find the right guitar for you!!! Which is not the norm, trust me most just wanna sell guitars. I really felt that he was trying to put a guitar in my hands that would be a perfect fit for me. He knows sound, size and style of playing matters. As I said I have bought and played a lot of guitars and he was my most honest helper in finding the right guitar for me. My only problem was I didn't buy one, which if I had more time to play I probably would have. My wife wanted to get going as we were driving home that day. I honestly feel I will be back and probably buy a guitar from him. The area is beautiful and the town is very cute, so I think I will return. I really wanna go back and probably spend the whole day playing so I am sure which guitar I want and add to my collection. All I can say folks is if you love guitars and small country towns, this store is great!!! And please don't listen to the mixed reviews because I really just don't understand the expectations of some people today. Again I am just being honest. Trust me this guy does not deserve any mixed reviews!!! And I hope he sees this review, and all I can say to him is THANK YOU!!!
