Goshen

Where pastoral New Hampshire traditions thrive amid rolling hills and timeless rural beauty.

About Goshen

Nestled in the rolling hills of Sullivan County, Goshen embodies the quintessential New Hampshire small-town charm with its pristine rural landscape and tight-knit community of just over 800 residents. This peaceful town, established in 1791, sits beautifully between the Connecticut River Valley and the Sunapee region, offering residents and visitors alike a genuine taste of New England's pastoral beauty. Historic farmsteads dot the countryside, while stone walls trace property lines that have remained unchanged for generations. Despite its small size, Goshen punches above its weight in natural beauty and recreational opportunities. The town's location provides easy access to both Lake Sunapee's recreational activities and the broader Dartmouth-Sunapee region's attractions, while maintaining its own distinct character as a working landscape of farms, forests, and open fields. Here, neighbors still know each other by name, town meetings matter, and the changing seasons paint the landscape in spectacular displays of color.
