Daytrips can include skiing, boat excursions, summer stock theatre, antique fairs, covered bridge tours, and excellent dining. All things good about New Hampshire can be found here. Some unique features include the Town of Warner's lobster and fall foliage festival every October, the 9 day New Hampshire Craftsmans' Fair held at Mt. Sunapee state park, and Ruggles mine in Grafton. From bookstore browsing to mineral collecting, this area offers something for everyone.
