Keene is one of the most visited towns in Cheshire county due to its combination of history, culture and nature. Lakes, streams and rivers line the surrounding country roads. Keene’s downtown area has an eclectic mix of old-time and modern retail stores, restaurants and much more. Some local attractions include Mount Monadnock, the Cathedral of the Pines, and Stonewall Farm. The area’s pumpkin festival is an awesome spectacle, and something that many international students will never have experienced before, where locals try to maintain their record for the most jack-o-lanterns lit in one place at the same time.
