This month Yankee Magazine features an area I spent a lot of time in, the Monadnock Region of New Hampshire. I went to Franklin Pierce College in Rindge then lived there for a bit after. I shared a house on Monadnock Lake with a few others and paid $85 a month. The house had a huge stone fireplace, large rooms and a deck right on the water. Many a party took place there. It has been years since I have been back to Dublin, Jaffrey, Peterborough and Keene. After reading the piece I full intend to return for a visit, seems like the area has weathered well and it is time.
