VIDEO: Mt. Washington in Winter You don’t stay strangers when you pack together on a blue-sky morning in the cold cabin of a snow tractor rumbling up the eight-mile-long Mount Washington Auto Road at six miles per hour. In places, the tractor has to break through 20-foot-high snow slabs, its enormous treads rolling over the […]
A dominant figure in the landscape of southwestern New Hampshire, Mount Monadnock has been part of Yankee‘s story-telling for many years. Here are some “Classics” that reflect the mountain’s popularity, its magnetism, and its mystique:
By Lesley Ladebauche, a reader Regarding your latest issue — several of us were shocked that you did not include the most wonderful, new place in the Monadnock region and think that they are very deserving of your publicity. I am not usually one to voice my disappointment, but the folks at Countryhouse Corner are […]

By Sara E. Pratt Lyndeborough Start with breakfast or lunch at the Melting Pot in the town of Wilton. After exploring the myriad downtown shops and taking a peek inside the 1886 brick Town Hall Theatre head west out of town on Route 101. Pass the junction with Route 31 South and begin looking for […]
By Jennifer Kahn Consumer Marketing Manager/New Business, Yankee Publishing Carving a pumpkin underwater is a bit of a challenge.

By Dave Weisberg New Media Manager, Yankee Publishing Hidden away on the corner of School and Grove Street in the center of Peterborough is a classic European-style pub called Harlow’s. The warm, cozy atmosphere and the mix of the crowd gives Harlow’s a family atmosphere, while the small outdoor deck and seating area makes it […]
By JD Hale Publisher, Yankee Magazine For those of you who are cycling enthusiasts, there are many levels of rides and beautiful roads to enjoy in the Monadnock region.

By Jamie Trowbridge President, Yankee Publishing There are many lakes and ponds in the region, and they all have public access. The town of Harrisville has at least 10 ponds. Even if you don’t want to go into or onto the water, the ponds in Harrisville are beautiful to look at. The center of the […]
By Eileen Terrill Managing Editor, Yankee Magazine One of my favorite fall jaunts in the Monadnock region is a weekend excursion to Old Number Six Book Depot in Henniker (603-428-3334). With 160,000 volumes, it maintains the biggest stock of any used bookstore in New Hampshire. But half the fun is getting there — up over […]
By Rachel Kipka Senior Production Artist, Yankee Publishing It’s way in the corner of the Monadnock region, but it’s definitely well worth the drive: Washburn’s Windy Hill Orchard in Greenville, New Hampshire.
