Visit Franklin guideAbout Alexandria
Nestled in the heart of New Hampshire's Lakes Region, Alexandria is a quintessential New England town where rolling hills meet pristine waters and small-town charm thrives. This picturesque community of fewer than 1,700 residents offers an authentic slice of rural New Hampshire life, with its historic farmsteads, winding country roads, and the sparkling waters of Newfound Lake defining much of its eastern border. The town's agricultural heritage remains strong, with working farms dotting the landscape alongside newer homes of those seeking refuge from urban life. Alexandria's strategic location provides residents and visitors with easy access to both mountain adventures and lakeside recreation, while maintaining the peaceful, unhurried pace that makes small-town New Hampshire so appealing. The community takes pride in its volunteer spirit, from the local fire department to the annual Old Home Day celebration, creating bonds that make newcomers feel welcomed and long-time residents feel at home. Whether you're drawn by the excellent fishing, the scenic hiking trails, or simply the chance to experience life in a town where neighbors still know each other's names, Alexandria offers a genuine connection to New Hampshire's enduring rural character.
