Hanover named 13th best small town to visit in 2013
Hanover, ranked 13th behind a few other small towns from across America, was noted for its New England setting, its proximity to a variety of outdoor activities for all seasons, and its bookstores, cafes and attractions offered by the College, including the Hood Museum of Art, the Hopkins Center, and Baker-Berry Library. The rankings also referred to the Orozco murals, which have recently become a national historical landmark. Smithsonian even noted Dartmouth College’s propensity for good times and “some of the Ivy League’s wildest parties.”
Hanover has fared well on similar lists in the past. In 2011 and 2007, CNNMoney ranked Hanover sixth and second, respectively, in their list of best American small towns.
