The Hood Museum
Dartmouth College has
been collecting objects since 1772, just three years after the founding of the
college. With about 65,000 objects in its care, the collections are among the
oldest and largest of any college or university in the country.
Dartmouth’s collections were housed
in five previous museum buildings on campus before the Hood Museum of Art was
designed by Charles Moore and Chad Floyd of Centerbrook Architects. The
award-winning postmodern building was completed in 1985.

Edgewater Farm
Edgewater Farm is a family farm located on the rich alluvial plains of the Connecticut River in Plainfield, NH. Originally a five generation family farm, Edgewater Farm was owned by the Colby Family from 1835 to 1974. The Colbys cut and sold firewood, eggs, butter and buttermilk in neighboring West Lebanon. The Colby family’s long tenure of stewardship came to an end when Pooh and Anne Sprague took up residence at the farm in 1974, not more than a mile from where Anne grew up; her family still owns and operates Mac*s Happy Acres Dairy farm and milk processing plant along the river. Although the two maintained outside employment (Anne as an elementary school teacher and Pooh as a laborer and part-time musician), they were encouraged by their county agent William Lord and by Stan Colby (previous owner of the farm and also a former county agent) and to try growing strawberries on the farm.
Riverview Farm
Riverview Farm has been owned and operated by the Franklin family for 30 years. Over those years we have grown from just a few apple trees to what you see now. We have over 1,600 apple trees, acres of blueberries, three patches of fall raspberries, a huge pumpkin patch, homemade cider and a corn maze. We also offer hayrides on the weekends. There is something for everyone at the farm and it is a perfect place to be on a cool autumn day.
We invite you and your family to come down to our farm, pick some fruit, ride the horse drawn wagon, wander through the maze or just enjoy an apple while sitting on the barn deck overlooking the Connecticut River.
