Visit Conway guideAbout Hart's Location
Nestled in Crawford Notch between towering peaks, Hart's Location stands as New Hampshire's smallest incorporated town and one of its most uniquely charming destinations. With just 41 residents calling this mountain hamlet home, Hart's Location offers an intimate glimpse into authentic White Mountain living, where the community gathers each election day in a tradition that draws national attention for its early voting results. The town's compact geography encompasses some of the most dramatic alpine scenery in the Northeast, with the Presidential Range rising majestically to the east and the Willey Range defining the western horizon. What Hart's Location lacks in size, it more than makes up for in natural splendor and historical significance. The town sits along the historic route through Crawford Notch, a passage that has welcomed travelers since the early 1800s. Today's visitors discover a place where time moves slowly, where every resident knows their neighbors, and where the surrounding wilderness offers endless opportunities for adventure. From the doorstep of this tiny community, you can access some of New England's most challenging hiking trails, witness spectacular autumn foliage displays, and experience the kind of mountain solitude that's increasingly rare in our connected world.
