If you’re looking for a way to make snow piles seem charming again, consider taking a trip.
HGTV named the most charming small towns to visit in every state in 2015, and the New Hampshire pick is a popular destination in the White Mountains, perfect for a wintry getaway.
“There’s something special about small towns. Whether it’s the simplicity, the character or the people, they are a quintessential part of American life,” HGTV said. “Dig into the best kept secrets of each state with this list of the most charming small towns across the US.”
When it came to New Hampshire, there was no more charming town than this one.
Littleton — Most charming small town in New Hampshire
HGTV named Littleton as the most charming small town in New Hampshire.
What HGTV said about it: “Some 5,937 people reside in Littleton, nestled in the White Mountains region of New Hampshire. This lovely, walkable town, settled in 1770, draws visitors with old-fashioned shops like Chutters, home to the world’s longest candy counter. (It offers 112 feet of jellybeans, chocolates and other popular and nostalgic treats.) Littleton also boasts America’s oldest ski shop, Lahout’s, and elegant, historic lodgings like Thayers Inn.”
You can find Chutters at 43 Main St. in Littleton. It was also named as New Hampshire‘s best roadside attraction by HGTV as well.
“Grab a bag and choose from the vast array of sours and gummies, gourmet and traditional jellybeans, chocolates, licorice, caramels, and nostalgic pieces,” the Chutters website said. “Chutters is a treasure trove of tasty treats!”
You can also visit the statue of Pollyanna, a character who helped coin the town’s motto, “Be Glad.”
