Hanover Tourism
From cross country or downhill skiing to kayaking on the Connecticut River, from hiking the Appalachian Trail to shopping on a classic Main Street, from prowling through any of the many noted museums or galleries to dining in any of more than several dozen restaurants, the Hanover area is more than just a home to those lucky enough to live here—it’s also a getaway from the grind of daily life for people from around the country.
Visitors to the Upper Valley can enjoy a spacious room at the historic Hanover Inn or the enchanting Norwich Inn, sit on the porch overlooking the bustling corner of Main Street, or put their feet up at a laid-back inn on a hilly back road in the Hanover village of Etna, Lyme or Norwich. For those more comfortable in a national chain, a wide variety of accommodations can be found within a stone’s throw of the intersection of Interstates 91 and 89.
After bicycling along the Connecticut, teeing off at the Hanover Country Club or one of the other courses sprinkled throughout the valley, marveling at a raptor performance at the Vermont Institute of Natural Science or checking out the renowned Orozco murals at Dartmouth College, it’s time to eat. Whether your taste leans to steak and seafood at Jesse’s to Tandoori Chicken at the Jewel of India, to the bistro offerings of The Canoe Club, or to the classic diner feel of Lou’s, it’s all here.
When the sun sets, it is time check out what’s on tap at the College’s Hopkins Center, see the latest flick at Hanover’s Nugget Theater, listen to live local musicians or head into White River Junction, VT to catch a performance of Northern Stage at the Briggs Opera House.
Throughout the year, there’s always a reason to visit and plenty to see and do, including Hanover’s Occum Pond Party in February, the quaint Hanover Center Old Timers Fair in June, StreetFest in July, an Ivy League football game and leaf-peeping in the fall or Celebrate the Season events including the Hanover Holiday Arts Festival, and the Handel Society Holiday sing in December.
