Nestled in the heart of the White Mountains, Littleton is known for its stunning natural beauty and rich cultural heritage. Named the “Glad Town” for its historical ties to Pollyanna, written by Littleton author Eleanor Porter in 1913, it is the perfect destination for anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life and experience the tranquility of New England.
Whether you’re an outdoor enthusiast, a history buff, or simply looking for a relaxing getaway, Littleton has something to offer. Explore the majestic White Mountains on one of our many hiking trails, take a scenic drive along the Kancamagus Highway, or go skiing or snowboarding at nearby Cannon Mountain. For those who prefer indoor activities, there are plenty of art galleries, museums, and cultural events to enjoy.
Littleton is also home to a vibrant community of artists, artisans, and entrepreneurs. Stroll through our charming downtown, where you’ll find unique shops, galleries, and restaurants serving up delicious local fare. Be sure to visit the Littleton Area Chamber of Commerce for a full list of businesses and events in the area – there are tons of open air markets and arts events, and an amazing pumpkin display along the river for Halloween!
