JDMI Autumn

“The heat of autumn is different from the heat of summer.
One ripens apples, the other turns them to cider.”
- Jane Hirshfield

Fall, Glorious Fall!
Dear Friends,

As the daylight starts to decrease and the air turns just a bit cooler, we look forward to the gorgeous array of red, orange and gold leaves that will be painted on the hills all around us. Fall is truly a magical time of year in New Hampshire! It’s a time for apples, cider, pumpkins, and harvesting the final bounty of our local farms and orchards.

Fall is also a busy time for visitors in New Hampshire, so please plan your visit early! Read on for our insider suggestions of great things to do and see.

Cheers!

Leaf Peeping
There is more than one way to check out the fall foliage. One way is to hop in your car and take a leisurely and scenic drive. Along the way, you can stop at local farmers markets, antique shops, or anything that piques your interest. Another way is to head to the woods, take a deep breath, and decompress. Smell the leaves and listen to their crunch as you walk along hiking trails with fall’s burnished canvas overhead.
Raptor Migration
We are lucky to be near one of New England’s premier locations for watching the fall hawk migration, called “one of the great wonders of the natural world.” Every autumn, thousands of raptors pass overhead for the annual southern migration. Raptors include not only hawks, but also eagles, falcons, ospreys, vultures, kites, and harriers. The Observatory is a wonderful place for information and viewing. Be sure to pack your binoculars!
New Peterborough Library
The Peterborough Town Library is the oldest tax-funded public library in the country! It was established in a Town Meeting on April 9, 1833, and originally housed in the general store. The library relocated to its current location in 1893 and has been expanded several times. The new facility is the result of more than a decade of planning. Come and see the new building at its Grand Opening on Sunday, September 12, 2021.
Apples & Pumpkins
As you admire the beautiful foliage all around us, stop by a local farm to pick apples or pumpkins. Some of our local farms offer corn mazes, hayrides and baked goods as well as orchards and fields. Make sure you check the latest updates for any festivals as things continue to change.
