Hi sandbar! Have fun on your trip to Littleton! I know Dare lives up there and she IMHO is a very wonderful person!!! Also be sure to check out Littleton's famous candy store! I think Littleton's Downtown has everything you want in a small town!

Dare, if you read this post, can you tell me if and where if any great Out Door Barbeques may be? I know your hubby does a lot of Blue Grass and I personally always associate Good Barbeque and great Blue Grass Music!

Comet - I can't answer your question about BBQ, but The Parker Hill Band (the major bluegrass band in this area) is playing for a benefit in Landaff tomorrow night....not sure if they're having food or not....we won't be going as DH has band practice with his band tomorrow night, or I'd give you a report

DH is doing the sound for some kind of a bluegrass festival thing in Franconia toward the end of July (maybe the last weekend? I can't remember now)....If there's going to be BBQ, I'd bet that one will have it

The bluegrass festival in Compton may also have BBQ, but haven't been there, so I don't really know.

Littleton.
It has an active main street, many locally owned businesses, plenty of history, and a good location.

I will be in Littleton in the end of March and thinking to staying at Thayers Inn. I've seen some info on this site before but can't find it. Is it nice, haunted and hard to get a reservation? I'm not sure what day I will be up to Littleton yet. Thank you for any info.

Littleton, New Hampshire

That might help a bit. The location is super good right on Main Street although I have not been in the rooms. Balliwicks is located right underneath the Thayer Inn and I love love that place to eat. Chen Thai is a very quick walk ( one or two minutes) Oasis right across the street. If you are looking for clothes Bella Funk is a little further up Main street about a three minute walk and I totally love the styles they carry! Don't forget the book store is also right on Main Street as well if you need a book and they have a coffee shop now.

Here's a link to a discussion on Thayers:

I'll add Madison to the small town list.

It is fairly rural, a farming community in days of old. It has a "main drag" witha few storse, but you'd have to hitch the buck board today to go to the big town of Conway for supplies and groceries.
Population in July 2007: 2,292

This area was one of the first to have land grants set aside for soldiers who had survived the French & Indian wars. The land covered by these grants, parts of Eaton and Albany, was incorporated in 1852 as "Madison," in honor of President Madison, who was born 100 years earlier.

The town has a total area of 41.0 square miles,and 2.2 sq mi of water. Madison is drained by Forrest Brook and Silver Lake to the south and by Pequawket Brook to the north.

Happy to hear you got the reservations! Be prepared, though - if it passes, I *think* April 1st is the target date for the start of the Main Street Renovation project, but I may be wrong. You should be able to get around Main Street without a problem if you're walking, driving you may have to take alternate routes, but when all is said and done, Main Street should be beautiful!
