NH Community Profiles: Columbia, NH
Columbia, NH
Columbia sits near the Connecticut River, on the Vermont border. It was a prosperous place in the 1800s, with mills and a clapboard factory for the house boom that accompanied the Industrial Revolution. Today, it is a quaint, small town full of history and unique traditions.
The Wallace Farm , just south of town on Route 3 is still occupied and managed by the descendants of the same family. In 2001, it was added to the Register of Historic Places.
On the north end of town just off Route 3 is the Shrine of Our Lady Grace. This shine is built in honor of the oblates, those lay people who dedicated themselves to service to God. The grounds have magnificent statues in Carrera marble and granite that convey stories of religious devotion.
Every June, Columbia and the surrounding towns of Colebrook hold "The Blessing of the Bikes." The event not only blesses the motorcycles, but includes a "motorcycle rodeo," helicopter rides and a parade.
The historic Columbia Bridge connects Columbia with Lemington, Vermont. Built in 1912, it was rehabilitated in the 1980s, and added to the Register of Historic Places. This cover bridge would be the perfect place to pose for your holiday photo.
Dining is available in nearby Colebrook and Pittsburg .
Lodging is available Columbia Cabins, 1058 Route 3, is a pet-friendly establishment, offering skiers, snowmobilers and other outdoor enthusiast comfortable, affordable lodging with kitchenettes.
