Jefferson Highlights

Amid the quiet farms and forests of northern NH and the grandeur of the White Mountains, Jefferson awaits. This sweet little town is well known for Santa’s Village. With its Christmas themed amusement park that was designed for children under 13, you will smile and laugh enjoying the sweet rides, the restaurants (including the Burger Meister of movie fame), a train, and, of course, Santa. What’s not to enjoy? The Presidential Mountains, with fantastic views, await your camera. A historic museum is located here that offers stories of the people of the town. You will also find farm artifacts plus a working loom on site. The Ammonoosuc Ravine Trail and Caps Ridge Trail await the avid hiker. Pondicherry Wildlife Refuge (owned and managed by the U.S. Fish and WIldlife Service) is one of the “Crown Jewels” of NH landscapes, highlighting a wide ‘variety of significant ecological features.’ A marker, regarding the Cherry Mountain Slide, dated 1885, tells about a landslide/avalanche that demolished a farm, spared the family and . . . you will need to find out the rest! Muddy Paw Sled Kennel -- a year round family friendly location with dog sledding adventures awaits a great day. All proceeds help defray the expenses for the 70+ canine athletes that “call this place home.”
