Exeter is an old mill town, nestled where the Exeter River meets the Squamscott River. Just a few miles from the seacoast, the town has beautiful waterways.
However, that isn't the only historically significant part of Exeter. The town, which was founded in 1638, has a rich history for New Hampshire and the whole country.
You can learn about that history at the American Independence Museum, where you can read original drafts of the constitution and even catch a historical reenactment.
