Welcome to Bethlehem, New Hampshire, the quaint hillside city in Grafton County that was first established in 1774 as Lloyd’s Hill. This quintessential North Country town is surrounded by national forests and pristine natural beauty, home to both Cushman and Strawberry Hill State Forests. Bethlehem is great for year-round outdoor sports and activities and offers tourists a perfect base for mountain travelling! Known around the nation as a popular mountain resort town, Bethlehem offers clean, crisp mountain air and over 30 luxury hotels and boarding houses, all perfect reasons to stop in Bethlehem!
Once within the city you will see magnificent private cottages dotting the hillsides, many wooden sidewalks packed with happy locals or curious travelers along main street, and you’ll smell the heavenly aromas escaping from the various hotel kitchens. Listen for the live music of the dance bands along the streets as you stroll around, perhaps on your way to the Gallery at WREN or Rocks Estate Christmas Tree Farm. See the Heritage Society Museum, local Colonial Theatre, or seasonal (May-Oct) Farmer’s Market. As you will see the town boundaries come to rest at the North Twin Mountains, Mount Hale, Mount Tom, and Mount Field, making the various views and vistas here in Bethlehem truly unbeatable!
