TOURIST ATTRACTIONS

 The Robert Frost Farm   (603) 432-3091
  Robert Frost (1874 - 1963) was a Pulitzer Prize winning poet who lived on a farm just up the road in Derry, NH. Along with his farming, Frost also taught at Pinkerton Academy, Derry's High School. Although he left Derry in 1912, the time he spent there is credited with providing the inspiration for much of his later works. The Robert Frost Farm is available for tours, and is a highly recommended stop on a visit to the area. Along with a glimpse of turn of the century farm life in New Hampshire, the inspirations for Frost's poetry can be clearly seen. Be sure to take the walking tour of the property, during which you will see the very stone walls refered to in "Mending Walls."

  Americas's Stonehenge (Mystery Hill)   (603) 893-8300
  Open from late March to November, America's Stonehenge is the name of the megalith in North Salem, New Hampshire. The site is sometimes referred to as "Mystery Hill". Stonehenge, it is a fascinating archeological site. The site has many subterranean stone structures, standing stones, and stone walls. Most of the structures and stones are oriented with astronomical significance. The Watch House, for example, is aligned directly for illumination of it's crystaline back wall on February 1st. The exact history of America's Stonehenge reamins uncertain. Carbon dating of artifacts found at the site reveal dates from 2,000 B.C. to 995 B.C. The astronomical orientation of the stones suggest a date of around 2,000 B.C. The architecture seems to fit in with ancient Celtic building styles.   Rt. 28
