14 Mountain Communities

The Towns of the Monadnock Region

The Monadnock Region occupies the southwest corner of New Hampshire — fourteen towns in the shadow of Mount Monadnock, the most-climbed mountain in North America. This is where MacDowell Colony artists, Dartmouth professors, and Boston expatriates have quietly built a community around conservation land, working farms, and villages that haven't changed in two centuries.

From Peterborough's arts scene to Dublin's old-money lakefront, from Jaffrey's mountain base to Hancock's historic village — every town has its own character. And none of them have an income tax.

Why Here

Why the Monadnock Region

Ninety minutes to Boston. A world away in character.

MacDowell Colony

America's premier artist residency sits in Peterborough. The region has drawn writers, composers, and visual artists for over a century. Thornton Wilder wrote Our Town here — about this town.

Mount Monadnock

The most-climbed mountain in North America and the third most-climbed in the world. Its name gave the geological term "monadnock" to the English language. Visible from 50 miles in every direction.

Conservation & Working Land

Stone walls built before the Revolution. Working farms, conservation easements, and protected forests. Some parcels haven't changed hands in generations — and when they do, they don't get listed.

No Income Tax, No Sales Tax

New Hampshire is one of only nine states with no income tax and one of five with no sales tax. Your money stays where you earn it. Property tax is the primary mechanism — and rates are public record.

Arts & Culture

Peterborough Players (est. 1933), Sharon Arts Center, Monadnock Music summer series, the Mariposa Museum, and a thriving gallery scene. This is not a cultural backwater — it's a cultural destination.

90 Minutes to Boston

Route 101 to I-93 or Route 2 to I-495. Close enough for a day trip or a commute. Far enough that your nearest neighbor might be a stone wall and a field of wildflowers.
