The Smith River is a 25.0-mile-long (40.2 km) river located in central New Hampshire in the United States. It is a tributary of the Pemigewasset River, part of the Merrimack River watershed. The Smith River begins at the outlet of Tewksbury Pond in Grafton, New Hampshire. The river flows southwest and then southeast through Grafton, passing through Kilton Pond. Continuing through Danbury, the river remains generally flat until shortly before reaching the Alexandria-Hill town line, where it enters a narrow valley and produces several miles of whitewater. Passing under the New Hampshire Route 3A bridge at the Bristol-Hill town line, the Smith River drops over Profile Falls and arrives at the Pemigewasset River. U.S. Route 4 follows the Smith River from its source to Danbury. NH-104 follows the river from Danbury to the east side of Alexandria.

The Hersey Farms Historic District of Andover, New Hampshire, includes two farmsteads belonging to members of the Hersey family, located on the Franklin Highway (New Hampshire Route 11) in eastern Andover. The older of the two farms, the Guy Hersey Farm, was established c. 1850 by Hiram Fellows, and has been in the Hersey family since 1904. The adjacent James Hersey Farm was established in 1833 by Alfred Weare, and was acquired by Guy Hersey's son James in 1945. The two farms encompass 325 acres (132 ha), and were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.

The Murray Hill Summer Home District is a collection of farmhouses and related buildings on Murray Hill Road, a rural road in Hill, New Hampshire. The area is distinctive as a cohesive collection of rural properties that were adapted for use as summer estates between 1873 and 1937, the start date representing an early transition from agricultural to tourist use of such properties in the state. The district has eight farmhouses that were adapted, and two Shingle style houses, as well as one 19th-century district schoolhouse that has been repurposed as a meeting space. All are located on Murray Hill Road between Cass Mill Road and Lynch (Dickerson Hill) Road. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.Murray Hill Road, located in northwestern Hill, very roughly follows a terrace at an elevation of about 1,000 feet (300 m) on the north side of a ridge whose peaks are Page and Dickinson Hills (elevations 1,600 feet (490 m) and 1,800 feet (550 m) respectively). Remnants of the area's agricultural past survive in the form of abandoned roads and farm tracks, and stone walls which line fields and wooded areas. In 1873 John Murdock began buying up land in the area, which he subdivided for the development of summer houses. Land was typically transferred between family members and friends. By the time the state was involved in organized attempts to adapt abandoned farms for the summer tourist trade, the Murray Hill area had for the most part already been transformed. One typical property is the Chandler property, which includes a farmhouse built c. 1810, and operated primarily as a farm until 1878. The owners then began taking in summer boarders to supplement declining farm income. The Chandlers acquired the property in 1927, and began a series of modifications to adapt it as a summer property.

The East Andover Village Center Historic District encompasses the historic village center of East Andover, New Hampshire, United States. The 2.2-acre (0.89 ha) district includes a cemetery and three buildings: the Andover Congregational Church, the Highland Lake Grange Hall, and the East Andover Schoolhouse. It is located at the corner of New Hampshire Route 11 and Chase Hill Road. The district is unified by the appearance of the three buildings (all are sheathed in clapboards and painted white), and their styling, which is predominantly vernacular 19th century. The Andover Congregational Church is the oldest of the three buildings, built in 1796 to provide space for civic and religious functions in the town. It is a two-story wood-frame building, with a pair of entrances on the main facade, which provide access to a vestibule area, from which access to the main hall is gained, with stairs leading up to galleries on either side. The building was used by the town for meetings and by several religious organizations for services, but had by 1822 fallen into some disrepair. It was extensively rebuilt in 1840, including turning the building so that its main facade faced south. This work including the addition of the tower and the Greek Revival styling the building now shows. It has received only minor modifications since then.The Old North Church Cemetery was deeded to the town in 1805, although it seems to have been used before then, since at least two burials predate this transfer. Burial plots are laid out in north–south rows in the half-acre cemetery, which was filled up by the late 19th century. The cemetery stretches out along Route 11, behind (north of) the church. The Highland Lake Grange Hall was built in 1850 by the Mountain Club, an East Andover literary club that sought a meeting place for itself, and wanted to promote secondary education in the town. The building was inaugurated that year as the Highland Lake Institute, an academy that lasted just five years. It then saw a succession of academic and civic uses, and was enlarged in 1893 and renamed Union Hall. In 1938 the Union Hall Associates sold the building to the local grange chapter, which had been meeting on the premises since 1894. Little modification has been made to the building since 1893.The East Andover Schoolhouse was built in 1903 to replace the old District 10 schoolhouse, which had been located just south of the grange hall. Located just east of the grange hall, the building served as a public school until 1962; its most significant alteration in this period was the addition of a wood and coal shed to the rear. The building was sold to the church, which has since used it for Sunday School and as a nursery.The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.
