Peterborough is a picturesque town located in Hillsborough County, New Hampshire. Founded in 1737, this New England community is known for its significant role in fostering arts and culture.
The town gained prominence as the home of the MacDowell Colony (now known as MacDowell), the oldest artists' residency program in the United States, established in 1907. This creative retreat has hosted numerous distinguished artists, writers, composers, and other creative professionals throughout its history.
The town center features well-preserved historic architecture, including notable examples of Federal and Greek Revival styles. Peterborough also played a role in American literary history, as it was the inspiration for Thornton Wilder's play "Our Town." The community maintains a strong cultural presence with its active arts scene, historical society, and various cultural institutions that contribute to its reputation as a center for arts and creativity in southern New Hampshire.
