Keene

Keene, in Cheshire County, provides a wide range of activities for people of all ages and interests. The town dates back to 1735, when Colonial Governor Jonathan Belcher granted 63 different settlers land in the area. Over the years, the town has become a popular weekend getaway for people looking for a lovely place to settle down as well as have fun. Aside from being a lovely place to stroll, there is a lot to do and see! Make a point of visiting The First Church, which was built in 1786 before being relocated and renovated in the nineteenth century. It's now on the National Register of Historic Places, where it was added in 1982, and it's a great place for photos.

Keene was also once home to the country's largest Jack O' Lantern festival. Even though the event is no longer held, there is still a wonderful Halloween and autumn spirit here. Check out the Cheshire Rail Trail if you're looking for ways to enjoy the outdoors in Keene. The 20-mile trail can be enjoyed all year. You can start or end your section of the trail in Keene, but make sure to leave time for a meal! Especially if it includes a meal at The Pub! This is Keene's oldest family restaurant, and their years of experience shine through in every dish.
