TE/AE New England invites Sunbeam owners to a Fall Foliage Drive in
Southern New Hampshire. We'll have cookout with hamburgers and hot dogs.
Please plan to bring a side dish or dessert to complement the meal and
anything you might want to drink. Additional lawn chairs may be a good
idea if we have a large turnout.

The Drive
We will leave Hillsboro via Route 202 South to Peterborough.
Peterborough is the home of The MacDowell Colony and site of Thornton
Wilder's "Our Town". The drive continues on 202 to Jaffrey. Nestled at
the base of famous 3,165 ft Monadnock Mountain it is said, with Mount
Fuji in Japan, to be the most climbed mountain in the world. At Jaffery
we will switch to Route 137 North and drive to Dublin. Dublin is site of
some of the most beautiful houses in the region, and home of Yankee
Magazine and the Old Farmer's Almanac. Many members of New England's
literary, intellectual and artistic society came to Dublin in the late
19th century. Be sure to keep an eye on the open ponds; you may spot a
moose or two this time of year. The drive continues to Harrisville, a
prototype of a rural New England factory village. Named a National
Historic Landmark for creative preservation of its 19th-century
industrial heritage, the town's old factories look right at home in some
of the northeast's most striking natural beauty, including nearby Mount
Monadnock. The picturesque village is a great favorite with artists and
photographers. Harrisville Pond is one of New Hampshire's
most-photographed sites. After pausing in Harrisville we connect to
Route 9 and follow it back to Hillsboro. In Hillsboro we are presently
celebrating the 200th anniversary of the birth of President Franklin
Pierce.
