The Town of Exeter is located in the scenic seacoast region of New Hampshire and is known for its educated population and its passion for politics. Its rich seafaring, mercantile and manufacturing legacy derives from its location near Great Bay at the confluence of the Exeter and Squamscott Rivers. Every year Exeter celebrates its pre-eminence as the nation's first capital and home of the historic American Independence Museum. Among the Museum's permanent collection of documents chronicling the nation's founding are an original Dunlap Broadside of the Declaration of Independence and early drafts of the U.S. Constitution. Visitors to Exeter's annual American Independence Festival interact with period-costumed settlers and loyalists at the colonial-era encampments, watch authentic battle re-enactments, and end the day with revolutionary fireworks fun. Numerous road races in and around Exeter attract runners and cyclists from near and far. Not to be missed are the spring Alewife River Run Festival, and the arrival of Santa Claus himself at the end of the Exeter Christmas Parade.

Every Thursday afternoon from early May to late October the Farmers Market of Exeter offers a seasonal cornucopia of the freshest seafood and produce, meats, cheeses, maple syrup, farm products and baked goods from local farms big and small. The area's well-tended beaches, inviting scenic roadways, and recreational events attract walkers, runners, cyclists, equestrians, outdoorsmen, campers and sightseers year after year. One of the world's oldest and most illustrious private educational institutions is located right in the heart of Exeter. Phillips Exeter Academy, 603-772-4311 is one step away from everything on its beautifully maintained 600 acre campus.
