Winchester

Once an agricultural town, many small businesses (textile mills, wood factories, leather tanning) were established in the 1850s with the coming of the Asheulot Railroad. With rural charm, waterfalls, lovely homes, an historic library, as well as a magnificent covered bridge, Winchester is a place to visit. The covered bridge ( Coombs Covered Bridge) was built in 1837. With its lattice trusses, being listed on the National Register of Historic Places, you will want your camera ready for this one. With its beautiful surroundings, wooded area and a beautiful brook running beneath, this is a photographer’s paradise. The Monadnock Speedway, made up of a ¼ mile paved, oval track, is also something you will not want to miss. Excitement awaits!!
