Sprinkled with the white-steepled commons of quaint New England villages…fed by miles of picturesque walking and hiking trails…sparkling with nationally famous theater and concert groups…colored by the area's artists and artisans, the Monadnock Region and Peterborough invites you to a lifestyle of country charm.

From Pack Monadnock in the east to Grand Monadnock in the west and the Connecticut River beyond, the area known as "Monadnock" is as traditional as The Old Farmer's Almanac, published in Dublin, and as modern as the Electronic Data Systems' (EDS) software development group, headquartered in downtown Peterborough
