Restaurants & cafés
Schilling Beer Co.
European-inspired craft brewery in a converted mill on the Ammonoosuc River, with a wood-fired pizza oven, outdoor beer garden, and a riverside deck that captures the best of Littleton's waterfront.
Littleton Freehouse Taproom & Eatery
A locally-beloved gastropub on Cottage Street pouring rotating craft beers alongside wagyu burgers, short ribs, and legendary maple buffalo wings made from locally-sourced ingredients.
Trails & outdoors
Kilburn Crags
Littleton's best-kept local secret: a 1.7-mile out-and-back that climbs through meadow and old logging roads to a ledge perched directly above town, framing the Presidential Range, Twin Range, and Franconia Ridge all in one sweeping panorama—with a picnic table waiting at the top.
Ammonoosuc Rail Trail
A 19-mile converted rail corridor that follows the Ammonoosuc River from Littleton's modern covered bridge through Woodsville, passing the historic 345-foot Bath Covered Bridge (built 1832)—flat enough for all skill levels, gorgeous for cycling or a mellow out-and-back walk.
Things to do
Littleton Opera House — Live Performances
The 1894 opera house hosts an eclectic year-round calendar in its Grand Hall—folk concerts, comedy nights, theater productions, local band showcases, and even the occasional wrestling event—all in one of the prettiest Victorian halls in rural New England.
Iron Furnace Brewing
A taproom born from four North Country friends who fell in love with a Victorian building on the Gale River in Franconia—hop-forward house IPAs alongside stouts, porters, and lagers, poured in a family- and dog-friendly space minutes from Cannon Mountain.
Landmarks & sights
Chutters — World's Longest Candy Counter
A Guinness World Record holder hiding in plain sight on Main Street: 112 feet of glass jars packed with 600+ varieties of bulk candy, from penny-candy classics to international rarities, in a shop tracing its roots to an English minister-turned-grocer who arrived in Littleton in the 1880s.
Littleton Opera House
A Late Victorian landmark from 1894 anchoring the center of town, its six-sided tower visible for blocks; the Grand Hall hosts plays, live music, comedy, and wrestling while the basement holds the free Littleton Area Historical Museum.
