New Hampshire’s White Mountains area offers a variety of attractions, and here is a sampling of three local museums:
Remick Country Doctor Museum and Farm
Located in Tamworth, this living-history museum and working farm allows visitors to experience the lives of two country doctors, their homes, and their farms. Visitors can see farm animals, take a hike on the property, and participate in family-friendly, hands-on activities.
The Frost Place
Located in Franconia, the former home of poet Robert Frost is now a museum. Travelers can tour the home, watch an informative video, take a Poetry Trail hike on the property, and enjoy the sweeping view from Frost’s front porch.
Weeks State Park
On the summit of Mt. Prospect in Lancaster is the summer estate of John Wingate Weeks, the U.S. Congressman who led the movement to establish the Weeks Act of 1911, which created the National Forest system. Visitors can enjoy the hiking trails year-round, and non-hikers can drive the state’s first Scenic & Cultural Byway to experience the spectacular view from the summit.
