Not our name, but our passion
The Lyme Hill Conservation Area in Lyme, New Hampshire is one of the many conservation areas along the Connecticut River that offer great hiking and birding opportunities. This area is right off NH Route 10 which parallels the river going along the New Hampshire side.
The Kendal Riverfront Park is along the Connecticut River in Hanover. There is area along the side of the road overlooking the river and a boat access. The 107 acre property was the former site of a motel and was purchased by Kendal of Hanover, a retirement community.
New Hampshire’s Lake Massabesic is the water supply for the city of Manchester. As such it is not open to swimming, paddle boarding or other activities where you come into direct contact with the water. That does not mean however that it is not a prime spot for such activities as boating, fishing, sailing or just relaxing on the shore enjoying the view. There are several areas to stop and gain access to the lake.
There is a nice park on the NH Route 28 bypass that is popular for its relaxing views of the lake.
There is good boating access on the opposite side of the lake off NH Route 121 at Clair’s Landing in Auburn, New Hampshire.
Directly opposite the landing on the other side of the road is a nice playground and picnic facility the Circle of Fun Playground.
A short ways up the road is a small memorial to New Hampshire veterans.
Continuing up route 121 you will come to the remains of the Griffin Mill Site situated on a small stream running into Lake Massabesic.
Town pounds were quite common in New England, their purpose was to confine stray animals until their owners could come to collect them. The Londonderry Town Pound in Londonderry was built in 1836 by David Gilcreast and was the second one built on the site.
John Kemeny and Thomas Kurtz professors at Dartmouth College invented in 1964 the first user-friendly computer language BASIC. BASIC stands for Beginners All-Purpose Symbolic Instruction Code. With the advent of home computers in the 70s and 80s BASIC became even more important. BASIC became the standard way in which people everywhere learned to program computers. The historic marker is in Hanover, New Hampshire not far from the campus of Dartmouth. Rita was especially fond of this marker because one of her first jobs was teaching BASIC after she showed a proficiency in the subject.
