Bath, NH
Bath is a mostly residential town, with many residents employed in nearby Littleton. It is located between I-93 and I-91, and is adjacent to North Haverhill and the Village of Woodsville.
According to the town's website, Bath has the distinction of having three covered bridges: the Bath Bridge, the Bath-Haverhill Bridge, and the Swiftwater Bridge. A fourth covered bridge, the Jackman Bridge over the Wild Ammonoosuc River, was destroyed by a flood in 1927.
Bath was an "up and coming" town, however the railroad's choice of Woodsville as a hub left Bath somewhat challenged. That lack of urban expansion helped to keep old buildings in Bath original and unmolested, so there are some great examples of architecture to be found in town.
The Brick Store, built in 1824 is the oldest continually operating General Store in the US. They offer a variety of clothing and souvenir items, weathervanes. Gift baskets are also available.
Dining in Bath includes 603 Burger -- get it? The NH area code? Reviewers seemed to really like this place.
Lodging in Bath includes Hibbard House, 9 Rum Hill Road. This bed and breakfast hits all the high notes for cute and homey.
More complete dining and lodging choices are available in Woodsville and Haverhill.
