For the New England of picture books, you need go no further than the Monadnock Region for a picture-perfect gathering. Here you'll find small villages where white clapboard churches and town halls edge manicured town greens.
Rolling fields with neatly planted rows quilt the hillsides, and rural roads lined by rock lead the way to country inns and bed and breakfasts that dot the countryside. Reunion groups from 10 to 70 will find that good things come in small packages in the Monadnock Region.
The biggest city is Keene, with a population just over 22,000. Nearby Dublin is home to New England icons Yankee magazine and The Old Farmers Almanac. And, it is believed that Thornton Wilder based his play, "Our Town," on the residents of Peterborough.
