About Dummer

Nestled in the pristine North Country wilderness of Coos County, Dummer is a hidden gem where the Connecticut River forms New Hampshire's border with Vermont. This small town of just over 300 residents embodies the rugged spirit of the Great North Woods, surrounded by endless forests, pristine waterways, and the kind of unspoiled natural beauty that makes visitors feel they've discovered a secret corner of New England. Originally settled in the late 1700s and named after William Dummer, a colonial governor of Massachusetts, the town has maintained its rural character through centuries of change. What strikes visitors most about Dummer is its authentic wilderness setting and the genuine warmth of its tight-knit community. Here, neighbors still know each other by name, and the pace of life moves in harmony with the seasons. The town serves as a gateway to some of New Hampshire's most spectacular outdoor recreation, from world-class snowmobiling and ATV trails to excellent fishing and hunting opportunities. Whether you're seeking adventure in the vast network of trails that crisscross the region or simply want to experience the peace of a place where the night sky still reveals countless stars, Dummer offers an authentic North Country experience that's increasingly rare in today's world.
