About Lancaster

Set along the Connecticut River in northern New Hampshire, Lancaster blends open valley farmland with mountain backdrops. As the county seat, the town has a classic New England Main Street anchored by local businesses, cozy bakeries, and everyday essentials. Just south of the village, Weeks State Park sits atop Mount Prospect, where an easy auto road and walking trails lead to panoramic views stretching across the valley into Vermont.
