& Burlington.
Antrim is located in south central New Hampshire, 1.75 hours from
Boston, 2 hours from Hartford, 3 hours from Portland, and 3.5 hours
from Burlington, 4 hours from suburban NYC.
Eastern Massachusetts:
There are a few ways to get here from Eastern Mass, one more direct
than the other.
ROUTE A - DIRECT -- Recommended -- Take I-93 North to Concord. After
the Hookset tolls ($0.75, cash lanes on left). A couple of miles past
the tolls take exit right on I-89 North (marked to Vermont / Lebonon,
NH) Take I-89 North about past Hopkinton, about 5 miles from Concord,
to a LEFT EXIT (Exit 5) for U.S. Route 202 / Keene, NH. Follow Rt. 202
South through Henniker and into Hillsborough. Exit right on to an exit
for Rt. 202 Antrim/Bennington. At the stoplight / McDonalds continue
straight on 202. Follow south about 6 miles to downtown Antrim, then

ROUTE B - SHORTER BUT ON LOCAL ROADS Take Rt. 3 north to Nashua, NH
from I-95 / I-495. Take Exit 8, marked for NH 101A Milford /
Peterborough and the Monadnock Region. This is a bypass which will wrap
you around to 101A. When you reach 101A (Light/Ground Round @ corner )
