Description : Climb up to the Cupola of Thayers Inn, a colonnaded landmark that has been greeting travelers since 1850, and you'll soon see why the town of Littleton is here. Below you is the Ammonoosuc River, foaming over its granite bed as it makes its way from Mount Washington to Connecticut. Thayers Inn is perhaps Main Street's greatest success story. It's unusual for a 150 year-old hostelry this size to still be in business, let alone thriving. The four-story, White Greek revival building, now on the National Register of Historic Places, has hosted Presidents from Franklin Pierce to Jimmy Carter; Ulysses Grant gave a speech from the balcony. Actress Bette Davis stayed here for the World Premiere of the Great Lie. The Inn's Guest rooms are thoroughly up-to-date, but one has been preserved as a museum piece, with furnishings as they would have been at the time it opened.

Amenities : Parking (free), Sprinklers, ATM/Bank, Complimentary coffee, Photocopier service.
