8 ‘Must See’ Experiences in Littleton NH This Spring

We’re glad you’re thinking about visiting us in Littleton! You’re probably thinking of activities to enjoy while you’re in town. Here are a few suggestions to get your New England adventure started:

1. Downtown Littleton NH Shopping

If Littleton is anything, it’s full of neat shops, most of which are within easy walking distance of Thayers Inn. Find one-of-a-kind shops downtown. Chutters offers the “World’s Longest Candy Counter” runs the entire length of the store, offering a rainbow of candy in all shapes and flavors. Another record-setter is Lahout’s Ski Shop, aka “America’s Oldest Ski Shop,” a fourth-generation family business that carries all the equipment, brands, and apparel that hardcore New England adventurers expect. Part indie book shop, part quirky toy shop, Little Village Toy & Book Shop overflows with fun finds (there’s more than 20,000 items in stock). For home, clothing, and trinkets unique to northern New Hampshire, check out boutiques like Just L, Pentimento, and Bella Funk Boutique.

2. The Pollyanna Statue

If you’re visiting Littleton, it’s a must to bring your camera and have a friend snap a photo of you mimicking the cheerful pose of the bronze statue depicting the iconic character from the 1913 classic children’s novel by author Eleanor H. Porter. The novelist was born right here in 1868. On June 9th, we’ll celebrate Official Pollyanna Glad Day at the sculpture.

3. Walking Trails

Take a stroll along one of the many hiking trails, such as the Dells, Pine Hill Trails, or Kilburn Crags.

4. The Riverwalk Covered Bridge

You can get some pretty views of the town and the Ammonoosuc River from this beautiful iconic structure, located one block over from Main Street. The 230-foot pedestrian bridge was built in 2004, so it’s not really historic, but you also don’t have to worry about it being sturdy. The original bridge was blown down in a storm. It adds so much to our quaint village. Watch the old-timey water wheels and the flow of the water tumbling over the rocky river bed. Engage with the xylophones and drums nearby. You can have lunch at Millers Café or Schilling Brewpub right next to it. Don’t forget to bring your camera when preparing for this charming attraction.

5. Schilling Beer Company

While visiting the Riverwalk Covered Bridge, take some time to visit this business. Schilling Beer Co. is a progressive European-inspired small-batch brewery operating from a carefully renovated three-story 1797 grist mill. The Cicerone-educated staff can answer your questions while preparing rustic Neapolitan-style pizzas cooked in a wood-fired oven and designed to pair with their beers.

6. Littleton Diner and Tim-Bir Alley

We could go on and on about the many dining options in Littleton, but that’s another blog for another day!
