Thaw out in the area’s local artisan shops. Start at the Old Print Barn, a Civil War–era barn turned art gallery showcasing more than 2,000 New Hampshire–inspired paintings, photographs, etchings, and other original works. Down the road, watch craftsmen pour liquid metal into molds at Hampshire Pewter, a workshop and store that handcrafts candlesticks, goblets, and other home accessories. End the adventure with a nibble of old-timey candy at Kellerhaus, a confectioner and ice-cream shop that sells pecan bark and classic ribbon candy made with a candy crimper from 1886.
