About Piermont

Piermont is a quiet farming community on the banks of the Connecticut River in western New Hampshire, where rolling pastures meet forested hills and life moves at a gentler pace. The town has maintained its agricultural roots since its 1764 founding, with operations like Robie Farm still working the land along the river after more than 150 years. Every summer, the population swells as families arrive for Camp Walt Whitman and Kingswood Camp, two nationally recognized sleepaway camps tucked into the surrounding hills. Lake Tarleton State Park, Lake Armington, and the panoramic views from Piermont Mountain offer year-round outdoor recreation. The village center retains its classic New England character with a historic church and town hall, while the proximity to Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center and I-91 keeps modern conveniences within easy reach.

Hidden Gems in Piermont

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

Old Church Building (Town Meeting House)

year-round

This converted church at 131 Route 10 serves as Piermont's civic heart where town meetings, elections, and planning board sessions unfold. The building itself tells the story of New England's evolution from religious to civic governance. Walking inside during a town meeting feels like stepping into a Norman Rockwell painting, with locals debating everything from road salt to zoning variances in wooden pews beneath tall windows.

Indian Pond (Resident Beach)

summer

This hidden swimming spot on Indian Pond Road is Piermont's best-kept secret, known mainly to locals who have a town beach pass. The pond hosts resident loons whose haunting calls echo across the water at dawn and dusk. The water stays surprisingly warm in summer, and the sandy bottom makes it perfect for families who know to bring the sexton's contact info to get access.

Peaked Moon Farm Stand & Friday Pizza Nights

summer

This 170-acre working farm at 99 Route 25 transforms into a community gathering place Friday evenings from 5-8pm. Locals know to call ahead for wood-fired pizzas made with farm ingredients while browsing the honor-system farm stand stocked with vegetables, fresh bread, and pastured meats. The sunset views across the Connecticut River valley from their fields are spectacular, especially during harvest season.
