Town of Hollis New Hampshire
Hollis New Hampshire, still clings to its rural past. Once known
mainly for its corn, strawberries, orchards, and dairy and poultry
farms, this affluent bedroom community is now also home to a number
of business executives and their families. Despite the changes,
Hollis has managed to hold on to its small-town character. The Historic
District in the center of town includes more than 100 historic homes
and buildings, including the Hollis Social Library, Town Hall, Hollis
Congregational Church, and the Always Ready Engine House, which
is now the home of the Hollis Historical Society. A number of other
historic farmhouses and homes can be found throughout town. The
Historic District Commission is in the process of applying to get
the entire district listed in the National Register of Historic
Places. Outside of the town center, sprawling orchards, rolling
fields, and stately farms sit alongside large, contemporary homes.
More than 2,000 acres of Hollis land remains in active agricultural
use today. There are several farms and apple orchards located in
Hollis, offering locally grown produce and the opportunity to pick
your own strawberries and apples. The Beaver Brook Association conservation
area encompasses 1,500 acres and offers 25 miles of trails for hiking,
biking, horseback riding, and other activities. Silver Lake is another
popular recreation site and is home to Silver Lake State Park.
