Mont Vernon, New Hampshire Relocation Guide
|
Population: 2,034 Located in Hillsborough County
With its small rural village and impressive hilltop setting, Mont Vernon is among the most picturesque of the region's communities. The well preserved buildings of the picturesque village center have been designated a local historic district, reflecting a unique and varied history. Beginning with the construction of the Second New Hampshire Turnpike in 1802, Mont Vernon became a center of considerable trade. Five full miles of turnpike ran through the town, supporting a number of taverns as well as businesses and services. In the late 19th Century, Mont Vernon was a prosperous summer resort, attracting a profitable summer trade with its pure air and scenic beauty. Today, the grand hotels have all but disappeared and there is a single general store on Main Street and a very limited commercial district along Route 13. The annual Lamson Farm Day with exhibits and hayrides is a popular local event, held in October. |
