About Tamworth
Tamworth sits at the foot of Mount Chocorua — one of the most photographed mountains in New England — and Chocorua Lake, whose still waters reflecting the mountain's rocky summit are an iconic NH image. The Barnstormers Theatre, founded in 1931, is the oldest professional summer theatre in the United States, giving Tamworth an arts credential entirely disproportionate to its size. The community values conservation and natural beauty above commercial development, resulting in a landscape largely intact from a century ago.
