Strafford balances timeless New England scenery with an engaged, forward-looking community. Residents gather at the iconic white Town House and the Justin Morrill Homestead for traditions that turn everyday walks into small history lessons. Quiet roads and wooded ridgelines invite four-season play—hike and bike in warmer months, then glide across groomed tracks at the Strafford Nordic Center when snow arrives. The Ompompanoosuc River threads through town, and the Morrill Memorial and Harris Library anchors learning, story hours, and author talks year-round.
Families value thoughtful education at The Newton School (K–8), while high-schoolers benefit from tuition choice to respected area programs. Daily life moves at an easy pace—farmstands, trailheads, and neighbors who wave—yet commuting is straightforward. Jobs, healthcare, and dining in Hanover and Thetford sit a short, scenic drive away, with regional services across Orange County close at hand. Preservation-minded planning keeps hilltop views open, while widespread fiber internet supports remote work and creative pursuits. Town meeting traditions remain strong, and the Town of Strafford keeps residents up to date on services, permits, and recreation schedules.
Whether you’re weighing a first home, a move-up property, or a downsized retreat, Strafford offers space, community, and ready access to the Upper Valley’s culture and careers.
