Check this out...We did a little visual tour about our home town of Hampstead and of neighboring Kingston. I'm really excited about it and think they came out great. I want to do a few more...Let us know what you think or if you have a town you'd like to see featured. Send me an e-mail or leave a comment here...don't be shy your opinion means a lot to us.

Hampstead New Hampshire is called a picture perfect community by many. It's location is what attracted us many years ago, close to Boston yet a million miles away in lifestyle.

I used to be an avid skier and living here made that so very possible...when my kids were younger I took them skiing often. In fact their photos are used in my post about skiing in New Hampshire called New Hampshire's White Powder . Jay and I are both ocean lovers and water babies so this is also an awesome location for those activities as well, my blog talks all about the fine lakes in Southern New Hampshire Living . The best of the best is really what living here is all about...you can just about get to anywhere in a reasonable amount of time.

I have lived in Hampstead since 1972 and Jay since 1984 and we watched as the town has grown from a small village to a bustling little (by some standards) community.

Not only a picture perfect community but a small town that is full of historical pride and is able to successfully balance all the charms of yesteryear while offering all the modern conveniences, of a much larger town…shopping, community activities, and town beach and recreation fields Hampstead still retains that small town feel.

A growing community for sure but one that can still be called a community rather than a town. That's what makes living here so special.

I have put together a little virtual tour with some photos we've taken while out and about...we hope we've been able to show you a little bit of what we "feel" about Hampstead New Hampshire.

Kingston New Hampshire

Kingston is a pretty little town with a rich history. Long famous for being the home town of Dr. Josiah Bartlett, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. Those of you that watch The West Wing will recognize the name as the fictional U.S. president.

Driving through Kingston one finds many beautiful old homes dotting Main Street where the town Common is also located. Kingston is ideally located much like it's neighbor Hampstead it is within easy reach of Boston, The White Mountains of New Hampshire and the ocean beaches. Kingston also boasts a state park interested in learning more about Kingston read my blog A little bit about Kingston. We've put together a little virtual tour about Kingston using some photos we took...we hope you enjoy it.

A little Bit About Kingston New Hampshire

Kingston is one famous little New Hampshire town covering 20.88 square miles.

Kingston was incorporated in 1694 after King William’s War. Kingston was established as a town in 1694 when it separated from the town of Hampton. It was the fifth town to be established in New Hampshire and originally called King's Town.

Kingston’s most famous citizen is Dr. Josiah Bartlett, delegate to the Continental Congress, signer of the Declaration of Independence, and founder of the New Hampshire Medical Society…made popular by the TV show The West Wing’s fictional President who was said to be a descendant of the real Josiah Bartlett.

One of Kingston’s most treasured historical landmarks is the Kingston 1686 House, located on Main Street and was the former home of Josiah Bartlett.

Kingston State Park, Rock Rimmon State Forest bordering the Great Pond, is a 44-acre park offering freshwater swimming and picnicking.

Kingston’s Population: 5,862 (1999 est.) estimated 2005 population is 6,240

Ideally located Kingston is only 45 minutes from Concord NH, 1 hour from Boston Ma (depending on traffic) and a scant 30 minutes away from ocean beaches. Kingston is a pretty town with a quaint little down town area called the Kingston Commons.
In the summer months the Commons is known for its farmers market where local farmers sell their fresh products. Kingston offers a wide variety of community events.
