One of the smallest of the Souhegan Valley’s townships is the town of Lyndeborough with its open spaces, hilly terrain and breathtaking views. The center of Lyndeborough presents a picture of the past with its handful of clapboarded structures preserved essentially unchanged from their 1840’s appearance.

In the 19th century, the Lyndeborough Glass Company was one of New England’s major manufacturers of bottleware. Today, apple growing is becoming a primary industry, encouraged by the town’s favorable high elevations. The town benefits from cooperative arrangements for high schools, rescue services, and solid waste with the Town of Wilton.

Favorite hiking areas in Lyndeborough are Curtis Dogwood State Forest, a 14-acre area owned by the state, and Purgatory Falls. Cross country skiing and snowshoeing are popular in The Wapack National Wildlife Refuge.
