The Hobo Railroad in Lincoln, New Hampshire offers a fifteen mile 80 minute excursion on refurbished vintage trains. The train station is surrounded by a nice miniature golf course and other family diversions.
The vintage trains are behind the station and are a great fun to explore.
The Veterans’ Park at Jacob Square in Hooksett is on land donated by the local Odd Fellows fraternity after their lodge was lost in a flood.
This is a pleasant little park and there are several nice pedestrian bridges leading over the river.
On the other side of the foot bridge
be sure to stop at Robie’s Country Store which was under continuous operation from 1822 to 1997, the current building dates from 1887.
There were several sects of Odd Fellows fraternities that arose in the United Kingdom in the 18th and 19th centuries. In addition to recreational activities the Odd Fellows are know for their philanthropy, the ethic of reciprocity and charity. The first lodge in the United States was founded in 1819. This lodge in Hooksett was formed in 1876 and was in operation until it was destroyed by a flood in 1936. The land was donated to the town and is now the location of a Veterans Memorial Park.
