Peterborough is a quaint, quintessential New England town located southwest of Concord and and a bit northeast of Keene. Only about 45 minutes north of Route 2 in Massachusetts, it's an easy trip to make in a day. This pretty little village offers adorable shops, great food and music too! There's a rich history in Peterborough, as you'll find at the local
Historical Society.
