If you are a native of New Hampshire, you may not know or take for granted the beauty that surrounds us here.  I sure felt like that when I was thinking about our 12 Storybook Towns.

 

Some people not from here may assume that every town in New Hampshire is similar in that it could be considered as a "storybook" town, but that really isn't so.  Our biggest towns, aren't towns at all.  The Cities of Manchester and Nashua are the two with the biggest populations. I wouldn't necessarily describe those two as a "storybook" town, but there are plenty to choose from.

New Hampshire Storybook Towns Take You Back to a Simpler Time

The town of North Conway is iconic.  The Cog Railway brings you back to a simpler time where people traveled to "far away places" by train.  The skiing is great in North Conway, the shopping, the restaurants - all come out of a Hallmark movie. The whole feeling of the town will make you want to stay.

Another town that made the list is Wilton, New Hampshire.  Just about 30 minutes West of Nashua, Wilton is a throw back town.  Life moves a little slower in Wilton.  People seem less stressed and life feels a little better.
