This trip is 113 miles of pure lakeshore love

Next up on the trip is the Remick Country Doctor Museum and Farm. Here you can explore the history of two country doctors and local Tamworth residents, Dr. Edwin Crafts Remick and his father, also named Dr. Edwin Remick. This dynamic duo served the residents of the area by providing medical care for over 99 combined years, which in early times was pretty remarkable. In addition to the deep history of the doctors, feel free to take a stroll through the property's 100-acre homestead, which includes two homes, three barns, and various outbuildings. After leaving the homestead, head to the surrounding meadows to see different and beautiful plants, and if you're lucky, you can participate in the new annual Dandelion Festival. You can even meet the farm animals who live on the property, and round out the visit by stopping at the farm stand, which sells produce grown here.

Is there anything more relaxing than a nice cocktail in a quaint setting? The Tamworth Distillery is an experience you'll remember for years to come. Here you can find in-house distilled liquors, including vodka and whiskey, to quench your thirst after exploring the beautiful New Hampshire landscape. This wonderful distillery, nestled in the wilderness near Mount Osceola and the Hemenway State Forest, also takes pride in using only ingredients from local farms-- to ensure that its products are as natural as can be. When tasting these products on-site, also make sure to swing through the amazing botanical garden that leads to the barrelhouse. Pick up a few bottles to bring home; your friends and family will be impressed as you whip up perfect cocktails for them like a pro!

While this stop is tucked away in a small town, it draws in some of the largest crowds. The Barnstormers Theatre is one of the longest-running professional summer theatres in the country, and many theatre-lovers flock here to see the amazing performances hosted at the venue. Established in 1931 by the son of Grover Cleveland, Francis Cleveland, who wanted to have an equity theater in the New Hampshire area; today, it is one of only three in the state. Productions like "Ghost Train," "Our Town," murder mysteries, and various humorous plays have taken over the focus of the theatre, which is known for high-quality productions with an impressive caliber of talent.

Right on the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee resides a unique concert venue. The Bank of New Hampshire Pavilion is a massive amphitheater that has hosted some of the biggest names in music. It's been continuously voted one of the best venues in the country, and while you'll definitely be able to see just about any artist you can think of, country music reigns at this location. The Pavilion even offers camping for those who've come from out of town to catch a show! Kittery Trading Post Campground allows you to pitch a tent either in the woods or right by your car.

Sticking with the theme of this trip, the next stop is rich in history, but also in flavor. Kellerhaus, Inc., was founded in 1906 by Otto G. Keller; his goal was to employ residents in the area to create ice cream to sell. Back in those times, refrigeration technology was nothing like what we have now, but clever Mr. Keller used ice from nearby Lake Winnipesaukee to make his ice cream. Today, the company is still thriving, and has even started crafting chocolates and candies. This location offers an ice cream bar, and also hosts waffle breakfasts. If you begin to feel full, or regret eating so many sweets, you can walk along the lake's edge, or even head to Weirs Community Park to start burning off those pesky calories.

Officially established in 1969, the Squam Lakes Natural Science Center is a hub for family fun. At this destination, you can observe live animal exhibits, participate in natural science education programs, stroll through an informal public garden, and even take part in lake cruises on Squam Lake. Take a ride with a naturalist, hunt for bald eagles, or enjoy a sunset dinner cruise. When strolling through the live animal exhibits, you may see black bears, mountain lions, river otters, bobcats, and other curious creatures in their natural habitats. (Pretty cool, eh?) To round out the visit, head over to Kirkwood Gardens to see beautiful landscapes and flowers on a scenic one-acre parcel founded by "Sunny" Grace Kirkwood. Like many of the stops along this trip, there are many fun and interesting things to do at this one!
