Peterborough

The landscape around Peterborough is a wooded river valley edged by the hills of southwestern New Hampshire, which has shaped both the town’s compact centre and its local economy. The Contoocook River flows through downtown, recalling the waterpower that supported early industry. Peterborough is also home to MacDowell, an artists’ residency founded in 1907 that has hosted writers, composers and visual artists. Conserved land and local trails connect the town to the wider Monadnock Region, with Mount Monadnock rising to the southwest.
