…A walk along the tree-lined streets of Exeter is a stroll through history. Since the town first was settled in 1638, there's always been a strong sense of community here. In the 1700s, colonists gathered at Folsom Tavern to discuss revolution; today, families gather at Swasey Parkway along the banks of the Squamscott River to enjoy the town's summer concert series. History lives today at the American Independence Museum, where visitors can tour the Ladd-Gilman House, which served as the state treasury during the Revolution.
The town of Exeter retains much of its historic charm. Visitors will find it still replete with historic structures hailing from the 17th and 18th centuries. It is the home of Phillips Exeter Academy, arguably one of the finest private secondary schools in the country. A drive through the campus gives tourists a sense of the history and heritage of this illustrious New England school.
Exeter boasts an active downtown, an excellent school system, a dynamic public library, an active recreation program for all ages, several parks and recreation areas, and many civic and cultural organizations. Water Street, Exeter's main thoroughfare, is lined with small shops offering clothing, handmade candies, trendy gifts, books, New Hampshire-made crafts, children's toys and more. A variety of restaurants are popular gathering spots for locals and tourists alike. At the center of town is Exeter's classic bandstand, where the oldest, continuously-organized brass band in the country performs during the summer. Recreation department activities include an Easter egg hunt, sports programs and bus trips to out-of-town events that attract younger and older resident. The local arts association sponsors musical theater, children's concerts and art exhibits at Exeter Town Hall. Reflecting its agricultural surroundings, Exeter hosts a weekly Farmers' Market during the summer.
