New Hampshire Ghost Towns

New Hampshire’s ghost towns are hidden in the forests and mountains of New England. Former logging communities, small hill farming villages abandoned when the thin soil gave out, and mill towns along the state’s rivers all left traces in the landscape. New Hampshire has a long tradition of cellar hole hunting – the search for the stone foundations and cellar holes that mark the sites of former homesteads and village centers now swallowed by second growth forest.
