Amherst, New Hampshire Town Tour

http://www.RudyMayer.com - Exemplifying the town's colonial flair, Amherst's centerpiece is the Village Green. Visitors strolling past beautiful colonial-era homes and the magnificent town center, can feel the town's deep sense of history. One of only two towns in the country listed in its entirety as a Historic District, Amherst exemplifies late 18th- and early 19th-century architecture and charm.

The homes of Amherst signify appreciation for the heritage of the town, a heritage that goes back to its early days as a Narragansett township. At that time, land was granted by the state of Massachusetts for service rendered in the Narragansett wars. From this grant, Amherst began as part of Dunstable, Massachusetts, then became Dunstable, New Hampshire, and finally Amherst.Recreational facilities include several golf courses, tennis courts, and an outdoor skating rink. Baboosic Lake is available for swimming, boating, and fishing, while the 375-acre Joe English Reservation is a favorite for hiking and cross-country skiing. Annual local festivities include the annual lighting of the Christmas tree on the Village Green, the Fourth of July Parade, and the Amherst Antique Show and Sale in September.

While home prices here are higher, the town supports an excellent educational system, which includes the award-winning Souhegan High School.
