The Nottingham Police Department is located adjacent to the Van Dame Schoolhouse in Nottingham, New Hampshire. Interesting modern architecture.
The Van Dame Schoolhouse is a historic meeting house, school, and now local historical museum, on New Hampshire Route 152 in Nottingham, New Hampshire. The single story wood-frame Greek Revival structure was built in 1840 as a church; according to local legend, timbers from a 1740 church were used in its construction.
The square schoolhouse in Nottingham was built around 1850 and is one of the best-preserved mid-19th century schoolhouses in southern New Hampshire. It is named not for its shape, but for its location in Nottingham Square. The building served as a schoolhouse until 1920 and is presently housing the Nottingham Historical Society.
The schoolhouse is adjacent to the picturesque Nottingham Square
The Hampton Beach Seafood Festival is an event that takes place the weekend after Labor Day each year. The festival includes a variety of food and shopping options as well as some live entertainment. This year was the 34th year for the festival and featured a Tom Petty cover band at the clamshell.
The beach itself is always a highlight

We spent the day at Weirs Beach on Lake Winnipesaukee and were looking for a restaurant to eat. I had seen Canoe Restaurant in Center Harbor on The Phantom Gourmet and had bookmarked it on Yelp as a place to go so we decided to try it. The restaurant has a nice view of the lake.
