This tiny New Hampshire town in the shadow of Mount Monadnock shines with publishing houses, ponds and prep schools.

Dublin is a charming small town in Cheshire County, New Hampshire. With just over 1,500 residents, Dublin epitomizes a village. Find the library, town hall, fire station and police station all within a tiny cluster. Drive through downtown in just a minute or two.

Learn about Dublin’s history. The town was originally christened Monadnock No. 3, but in 1771 it was incorporated as Dublin. The exact reason is unknown, but it’s believed that one of the first settlers, Richard Strongman, named it in honor of his native Ireland.

Dublin is home to Yankee Publishing. This classic American publishing house prints the Old Farmer’s Almanac and bimonthly Yankee magazine. Although Yankee Publishing procured it in 1939, Old Farmer’s Almanac has been in print since its initial run in 1792, making it the oldest continuously published periodical in North America. Read copies of Yankee magazine to learn about the best of New England home, food and sights and use the Almanac for weather predictions.

Drive past Dublin School, a private preparatory high school. Much like the rest of Dublin, the campus is full of red or white wooden buildings that look more like farmhouses than classrooms.

Dublin Pond is a small and beautiful body of water. With limited powerboat usage allowed, the spot is a great swimming hole. Don’t forget your fishing pole the pond is well stocked with bass and trout. Enjoy the scenery as you walk the 3-mile (5-kilometer) loop around the lake.

The northern face of Mount Monadnock slopes down into southern Dublin. Look for its silhouette looming over the town. Whether it’s covered in snow or lush foliage, it’s easy to understand why this beautiful mountain was popular among writers including Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau. Follow in their footsteps and hike along the mountain’s many trails.
