Roxbury

Roxbury is one of New Hampshire's smallest towns, a community of roughly 225 people in the Monadnock Region where solitude and self-sufficiency are way of life. There are no stores, no gas stations, and no school building in town — just winding dirt roads, hilltop homes, and deep woods that feel a world apart from nearby Keene, which is only a short drive away. Otter Brook and the surrounding hills provide a natural playground for those who live here, and the Otter Brook Recreation Area offers swimming and picnicking in summer. Roxbury is the kind of place people choose deliberately, drawn by the privacy, the starry skies, and the knowledge that their nearest neighbor might be over the next hill.
