…Many residents commute out of town to work. Boston is 45 miles away and Route 95 is easily accessible from town. Portsmouth is 15 miles away. Commuting residents can escape to a small rural town after an easy commute to the cities. Hampton Falls has worked hard to preserve its rural character and environment. The town boasts hundreds of acres of marshland. The Conservation Committee has set aside open space using donations by residents. The community now enjoys the Marsh Lane Conservation Preserve, a trail marked with descriptions of plants and birds along the path.
The Hampton Falls Historical Society is located in the Old Hampton Falls Free Library built in 1835. It has restored an old one room schoolhouse on Drinkwater Road and is restoring the old library into a museum and meeting room. The town is committed to it’s historic past, evidenced by the fact that Colonial Homes are restored rather than torn down.
Visitors to the small village of Hampton Falls are greeted by the white steeple of the 1836 First Baptist Church and the Town Common with its new bandstand. Down the road is Governor Weare Park, where students and athletes use the soccer fields and residents may enjoy a picnic or stroll, and the Hampton Falls Free Library.
