Welcome to Hanover

 
A superb neighborhood with unique riverfront attractions.
 
Home to Ivy league school, Dartmouth College and within Grafton County, the bucolic suburb of Hanover is a suitable location for living and working. The neighborhood is also popular for its beautiful natural attraction, the Connecticut River, which cuts across to two parks; Foley and Kendal Riverfront Park. Although Hanover has a few homes and commercial buildings created using classical New England and Colonial architectural designs, most recent buildings possess modern architectural designs, such as open layouts and spacious lots.
 

What to Love

A staple to the Hanover community since 1947, Lou's where you can get breakfast all day as well as some of the most sought after baked goods around. My personal favorite is their Carrot Cake!
