Littleton, New Hampshire

Littleton, New Hampshire, is listed number eleven in Norman Crampton�s One Hundred Best Small Towns in America, and it does indeed have a great deal to offer. Situated between two major rivers in the heart of the White Mountains, it was incorporated in 1784 but it wasn�t until the nineteenth century that the incredibly striking natural beauty of the surrounding area was discovered by the outside world.With the development of photography in the mid-nineteenth century the grandeur of Littleton�s mountain scenery soon began to attract photographers to the area, and their images of the mirror-like lakes, winding rivers, dense, dark forests, and craggy mountains began a tourist boom that continues to this day.
