“Monadnock Country Club has been part of Peterborough golf for over a century, with memberships for regulars, leagues, private lessons, and venue rentals when a round turns into a celebration. It’s the kind of place where you play, then hang out because you keep seeing friends.”

“Between gymnastics basics, ninja-style obstacles, and cheer training, Monadnock Gymnastics Center- Ninja, Gymnastics, Cheer gives Peterborough kids a place to move, learn, and burn off the wiggles. It’s a welcoming, skills-first spot that turns couch-cannonballs into cartwheels and confidence.”

“New Hampshire's oldest movie theater, Peterborough Community Theatre keeps things delightfully old-fashioned with no advance tickets, just show up and enjoy a rotating slate of crowd-pleasers, plus that cozy small-town energy that makes catching a flick feel like an event, not an errand.”
