Rochester

Rochester occupies the valley of the Cocheco River in southeastern New Hampshire, where the state’s wooded interior begins to give way toward the Seacoast. Falls on the river provided power for the nineteenth-century mills that drove its early urban growth, and the downtown developed around that industrial legacy. Opened in 1908, Rochester Opera House remains a distinctive civic landmark: its auditorium has a movable floor, designed to cover the seating for dances and other gatherings. Rochester is also known as the Lilac City, a name celebrated each spring at the Rochester Lilac Festival.
