Our Story

Established in July 2020

Xplore Monadnock is a project born of love for the Monadnock Region, located in the Southwest corner of New Hampshire. It is one of the most beautiful areas in the state, the country even, and is home to Mount Monadnock, one of the most climbed mountains in the world. With an abundance of rivers, lakes, mountains and forest, there is an endless amount of natural treasures to satisfy your every outdoor need.

Our region is also rich in cultural activities with numerous historical sites to explore, art galleries, antique shops, and live theater. Peterborough is the setting of Thornton Wilder’s book Our Town, and is still home to the Peterborough Players, a live summer theater where well known actors and actresses enjoy sharing their talents in a charming and intimate setting. Live shows and live music are a frequent part of our regional culture and are easily accessible. 

The city of Keene, with a population of about 23,000,  is home to Keene State College, and was the setting for parts of the movie Jumanji. It still maintains its New England charm with stately brick buildings and a beautiful town common, but also provides whatever you might need to satisfy your shopping needs with charming shops as well as larger chains.

Our culinary delights are plentiful as well, with dozens of independent and specialty establishments that offer just about anything you could ever want to eat. Many restaurants source their food locally to offer the freshest ingredients possible. The region is rich in lush farmland and local protein is readily available.

Whether you are looking for the small town experience, the solitude of the wilderness or great food and entertainment – all easily accessible from Boston and the Manchester NH

international Airport – you will find it here!
