About Lyme
Lyme is among the most quietly distinguished small towns in New Hampshire — a Connecticut River community just 15 minutes from Hanover with Federal-style architecture, working farms, and the famous Lyme Common surrounded by historic horse sheds. The Dartmouth College connection elevates the intellectual and cultural life significantly beyond what the population size suggests. Per-capita income is among the highest in the state. Lyme attracts buyers who value authenticity, beauty, and proximity to one of the world's great universities.
