Miller State Park
New Hampshire’s oldest state park is Miller State Park. Miller is the site of Pack Monadnock, a 2290ft peak (not to be confused with its better-known neighbor, Mt Monadnock). It has three easy-to-moderate paths to the summit of Pack Monadnock; you can also access the 21-mile Wapack trail here. The park has an auto road to the summit, and is located about 4.5 miles east of Peterborough along NH 101.

Museum
‘Please touch!’ implores this museum, which exhibits folk art and folklore from around the world. It’s a wonderful place for kids, who are invited to dive into the collections to try on costumes, experiment with musical instruments, play with toys and make their own art. Periodic performances feature musicians and storytellers who lead interactive performances.
