Amherst, New Hampshire
- 16 years ago
INFO: http://www.RudyMayer.com - Exemplifying the town's colonial flair, Amherst's centerpiece is the Village Green. Visitors strolling past beautiful colonial-era homes and the magnificent town center, can feel the town's deep sense of history. One of only two towns in the country listed in its entirety as a Historic District, Amherst exemplifies late 18th- and early 19th-century architecture and charm.
Amherst remained an agricultural area, while towns closer to surrounding rivers and railroads grew up around it. Today, businesses abound, primarily along the Route 101A corridor in the southern part of town, providing goods and services to the entire area. Still mainly residential, the two biggest employers in Amherst are H&M Metals and Wal-Mart.
