Hampshire Country School's remarkable 1700 acre rural property is the heart of the school and a source of recreation, renewal, and pride. In the late 1700s it was farms. In the late 1800s it was a privately owned agricultural and industrial community. In the middle 1900s it became a school.
The property includes three ponds (Mill Pond, Island Pond, and Stump Pond) which range in size from a few acres to 39 acres. It covers hundreds of acres of deep forest, open fields, wetlands and the Pratt Peak and Stonytop portions of Barrett Mountain. It includes the most remarkable collection of old stone walls and foundations in New Hampshire. The western half of the property holds the headwaters of the Miller's River, a major tributary of the Connecticut River. The land supports a large variety of wildlife including beaver, deer, wild turkey, moose, mink, otter, coyotes, bobcats, and many other mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and birds. The lakes contain an abundance of pickerel and bass.
This remarkable setting provides students an opportunity to live and learn in the quiet of a rural environment and to hike, camp, canoe, snowshoe, study nature, and explore forests and wetlands, all without having to pack into a car or leave campus.
