Keene: The Monadnock Region and Its College Town Core
Keene is the county seat of Cheshire County in southwestern New Hampshire, with about 23,000 residents. The city sits in the shadow of Mount Monadnock, one of the most-climbed mountains in the world and a fixture of Ralph Waldo Emerson's and Henry David Thoreau's New England. Keene State College, founded in 1909 as the Keene Normal School, anchors the city's western flank and enrolls about 3,500 students, giving the community a year-round college-town character.
Main Street in Keene is one of the widest in the country, built during a nineteenth century expansion designed to accommodate cattle drives. The Central Square at the top of the street, laid out in 1736, includes the United Church of Christ meeting house with its tall white spire that functions as the visual anchor of downtown. The Colony Mill Marketplace, converted from a former woolen mill, operated as a retail center for decades before recent redevelopment.
The Cheshire County Courthouse, the Keene Public Library, and the Horatio Colony Museum represent layers of the city's nineteenth century institutional infrastructure. Keene hosted a large pumpkin festival for decades that for a time held the world record for lit jack-o-lanterns before the event was discontinued after 2014 following disturbances. The Ashuelot River runs along the eastern edge of downtown and has a riverwalk system.
