Lyndeborough, New Hampshire is a rural bedroom community with no industry and little commerce. Lack of waterpower prevented any major development of industry in Lyndeborough. Geographically, a ridge of mountains that are part of the Pack Monadnock Range divides the town.
The school, former Baptist Church, Post Office, Fire Station and Citizens’ Hall, originally built for social events but now used as the town offices are located on the south of town on Route 31. The Lyndeborough town center, two miles away on Center Road, is the site of the Town Hall (now used for small meetings and social affairs), the old Town Pound, and the former Congregational Church.
Lyndeborough's major claim to fame is the former glass factory, which operated from 1866 to 1886. It made bottles of all sizes, mostly in a pale blue-green color, that are now prized by collectors. Lyndeborough's glassware was said to be the best in New England, but the factory could not compete with cheaper clear glass made in western New York. The quartz from which glass was made was mined in town, and after the factories closed the little quarry supplied white stone for construction panels; the quarry is still worked occasionally today.
On the Mont Vernon border is Purgatory Falls, a spectacular chasm with 25-foot waterfalls. A popular resort area 100 years ago, it is now a conservation area shared by the two communities.
The Lafayette Artillery Company, established in Lyndeborough in 1804, is the second oldest such company in the country. Now independent, it was originally part of the militia and the National Guard. The company's prize artillery piece is an 1840 brass cannon. For the past several years the Lafayette Artillery Company has hosted a Civil War encampment in Wilton every August.

NEW HAMPSHIRE (NH) THE BEAUTIFUL -- "LIVE FREE OR DIE"
"Why did you move to New Hampshire?"
Most newcomers would answer that question with three simple words: "quality of life." This is an area where young parents want to raise their kids and then stay once the nest is empty - where neighbor knows neighbor, strong community ties develop and friendships endure. There is an unmistakable feeling of COMING HOME to the beauty of a land that overwhelms you and makes you want to live here forever.
Tucked into a corner of the northeastern United States, the state is the most mountainous of the six contiguous states that comprise New England. Shaped like a right triangle, the "Granite State" shares a boundary with the Canadian province of Quebec to the north, the winding Connecticut River and the state of Vermont to the west, the state of Maine and the Atlantic Ocean to the east, and Massachusetts to the south.
Anywhere you choose to call home in the state is just a short day trip from the city, the mountains or the ocean. The Merrimack Valley and Seacoast regions, which make up most of the southern tier, are each about an hour from the many attractions of the greater Boston area. Less than a 2-hour drive to the north are the majestic mountains of the Presidential range and the extensive waterways that form the Lakes Region.
Whatever your lifestyle, New Hampshire the Beautiful has a region to suit it!
