EXETER NH FROM HAMPTON BEACH
Exeter Bandstand
Welcome to Exeter, the colonial capital of the state of New Hampshire.
The town of Exeter is located in southeastern Rockingham County within 10 miles of the Atlantic Ocean. It is situated on both the fresh water Exeter River and the salty Squamscott River, which intersect through a series of dams in the center of the town.
Exeter boasts of an active downtown section, an excellent school system, a dynamic public library, a busy recreation program for all ages, several parks and recreation areas, and many civic and cultural organizations.
It is also the home of Phillips Exeter Academy, the American Independence Museum, several sculptures by Daniel Chester French, and many fine examples of federal architecture.
The Library has an extensive reference collection, as well as a well-respected collection of genealogical sources. The Bandstand pictured above was built in 1895 and is still in use today. So if your looking to get away from the crowds at Hampton Beach for a while. Head over to Exeter and enjoy the shops and the history without a thousand people around you.
What ever you decide to do have a great day on the New hampshires Seacoast
