Cheshire County, New Hampshire

Cheshire County sits in the southwest corner of New Hampshire, right up against Vermont and Massachusetts. Keene is the county seat. It’s a college town with a huge pumpkin festival every fall. You’ll find a mix of rural charm and small-city amenities here.
The Ashuelot River winds through the county, perfect for kayaking or fishing. Farms are all across the landscape, selling fresh produce at roadside stands. Oh ya, it’s definitely quiet out here.
Mount Monadnock dominates the skyline in the southeast. They say it’s one of the most climbed mountains in the world. There’s a strong sense of history too, with colonial-era buildings and covered bridges scattered around.
