Reader Comments on Monadnock Region: New Hampshire from YankeeMagazine.com http://www.yankeemagazine.com/rss/index.php Sun, 22 Nov 2009 00:24:00 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.yankeemagazine.com/issues/2008-09/travel/NH-monadnock-region Dear Editor, I was moved to tears remembering Mt.Monadnock described in Mel Allen's "Our Own Magic Mountain"(Sept/Oct 08). We had the pleasure of "her" company while residing in Nashua,NH. We returned to Texas in 2001, but have fond memories of the magic she provides. As a Medical Rep., Southern NH & Brattleboro/Putney Vt. was my territory. I had many out-of-body moments viewing, as I called her, My Girl as I rounded the bend at Rt.102 & 202, she would rise up to greet me! The view is awesome going around the Dublin Pond as well. My husband climbed Mt. Monadnock three times. We visited many of the places mentioned -- Harrisville, Dublin General Store when Pam & John (our namesakes)were owners, Frye's Measure Mill, Jaffrey's(Kimball Ice Cream), etc. We almost purchased the "Joseph Eaves Farmhouse" (1885) on Old Chesham Road. More importantly, we met the most delightful lady at the Yankee Magazine Store -- Linda Culkay, with whom we're still in touch. It was the Yankee Magazine that enticed us to move to NH and it will entice us to move from Keene, Texas, to Keene, NH, in the near future permanently. Thanks for the memories...

Hope to head there in 2 weeks. I found good information here on http://www.tripcart.com/usa-regions/New-Hampshire-Vermont,Fall-Foliage.aspx - in the Monadnock region check out the covered bridges as well.

He lived on Old Dublin Rd., and my bedroom window gave me a beautiful view of Mt Monadnock. I was just a youngster at the time but I still remember the region as being the prettiest spot in this country. I say this after having been in every state except Alaska in the ensuing years. it was about a 20 minute walk to the village and I remember doing it every night after a day's work gathering hay. I revisited Peterborough about ten years ago and couldn't find a place to park! What a difference when I did not very often see a car on my way down or back. I live in North Carolina now and I surely miss New England especially this time of year.

The article was very well written and the pictures were great. Living in Florida means that we don't see the leaves changing the way they do up North. Seeing these pictures reminds my wife and I of Maryland in the fall where we lived until relocating to Florida 12 years ago. Thanks again for the wonderful story and pictures.
