The Monadnock Region is named for Mount Monadnock, one of the most frequently climbed mountains in the world. Besides winter sports like skiing, ice-skating and more, the area is also know for its year round arts and cultural offerings. The MacDowell Colony, the oldest and largest artist colony in the United States, provides a refuge where artists, writers, composers, visual artists, photographers, printmakers, filmmakers and architects from all over the world come to the colony to work and enjoy the experience of living in a community of gifted artists.

The nearby towns of Hinsdale, Chesterfield and Winchester include Pisgah State Park, a 13,500-acre undeveloped park that draws hikers, mountain bikers, hunters, anglers, snowmobilers and cross-country skiers. |
