Hidden Gems in Lyndeborough

Beyond the well-known attractions, Lyndeborough has spots that locals love and visitors rarely find.

Purgatory Falls

spring

A trio of cascading waterfalls tumbling down rocky formations through Lyndeborough's woods. The lower falls feature a small swimming hole perfect for cooling off after the easy 10-minute walk. The falls are most impressive in spring when snowmelt feeds the brook, and the sound of rushing water creates a natural symphony that drowns out the world beyond these quiet woods.

Lyndeborough Center Historic District

year-round

A perfectly preserved 1800s New England town center featuring three historic structures: the 1845 Greek Revival Town Hall, the 1837 Congregational Church, and the 1774 stone Town Pound where stray animals were once corralled. The church is only heated for summer services, and Stone Bridge Road - an unmaintained dirt path from 1770 - still winds through the district exactly as it did centuries ago.
