Bethlehem New Hampshire is a scenic, small town that that has retained all of it's charm in the years since it was settled in the 1800's. There were many
Grand Hotels in Bethlehem and although most are now gone, there are still active bed and breakfast establishments and hotels. It was a railroad line stop on the way north to Dixville Notch and the
Balsam's Resort, with as many as 7 trains coming everyday to Bethlehem to unload vacationers.
My father has told stories of my grandparents traveling to The Balsams for summer vacations, (I imagine to beat the heat from Forest Hills, NY) and commenting on how many people would depart the train in Bethlehem. It's funny to think that 80 years later I would settle in that same town! I love living in a small rural New Hampshire town. It is very similar to the town I grew up in, just south of Syracuse NY.
One of the things that I love about Bethlehem is that you can walk on Main Street and explore the shops, duck into an ice cream shop (yes, even in the winter!) and enjoy a great indie flick at the
Colonial Theatre (Sorry that IS closed in the Winter), or in the summer enjoy a Sunday concert at the gazebo on a residential street just past the
Elementary School is a home for sale.
