The Dartmouth-Lake Sunapee Region lies at a crossroads of fertile farmland and mountainous landscapes, providing stunning scenery and endless activities that locals and visitors alike can enjoy.
The western edge of this region meets the Connecticut River which separates New Hampshire and Vermont. The town of Lebanon's riverside placement granted its past industrial success with dams powering local manufacturing mills. The Lebanon Opera House, a historic 800-seat facility, hosts touring shows plus performances by the North Country Community Theater and Opera North. Lebanon's AVA Gallery exhibits more than 200 local artists. Dartmouth College brings a younger crowd into Hanover and is the alma mater of former U.S. Secretary of State Daniel Webster (1801), poet Robert Frost (1896), children's book author Theodore "Dr. Seuss" Geisel (1925) and former U.S. Surgeon General C. Everett Koop (1937). Dartmouth's Hood Museum is one of the country's oldest and largest college museums. Next door is the Hopkins Center, with its 900-seat Spaulding Auditorium, where the school presents movies twice a week. The Augustus Saint-Gaudens National Historic Site in Cornish features the home and work of the late 19th-century sculptor who created the statue of Abraham Lincoln for the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. Nearby Claremont and Newport are actively restoring their historic Main Streets. Newport's Richards Free Library annually presents the prestigious Sarah Josepha Hale Medal to a New England author. In rustic Charlestown, the Fort at No. 4 is the only fort that represents the French and Indian War era in New England. Ten-mile long Lake Sunapee is host to fishing, swimming and summer homes. Colby-Sawyer College can be found in New London, along with a generous offering of shops, eateries and galleries. The Mt. Kearsarge Indian Museum in Warner includes 100 acres of nature, where families can learn about 15,000 years of Native American life. Mt. Kearsarge itself is a popular family destination easily accessed through either Winslow or Rollins State Parks. In this region, history has truly become a part of the present. These Points of Interests are entertaining or educational places that are geared toward children or fun for the whole family.
