We hadn't planned to take another mini vacation so soon after Halifax but when we were told we needed to be out of the house for 24 hours because of fumes after the basement walls were insulated with a foam spray and then painted, we decided to look for a part of NH where we hadn't spent any time. We pulled out the map and selected the coastal area and once I started searching for accommodations, Exeter was chosen. We opted for an AirBnB instead of hotel or inn or bed and breakfast. It was a good decision, cheaper and with more space. It was the best AirBnB we have experienced too. Check it out here.
Exeter dates to 1638.
Exeter is known for its prestigious private school Phillips Exeter Academy. Don't know for sure but I imagine it's the major employer in the town.
Here's a smattering of the houses we saw most with plaques indicating when they were built and by whom.

...you got to enjoy so much eye candy, the architecture is fabulous. New Hampshire sure has beautiful historic markers!
What a nice trip! I love the beautiful homes there and it's fun to have a getaway. Hope everything goes well with your house too!
We also took a trip to Exeter, NH, sometime next week and ours was a day trip. We also visited the American Independence Museum which was an interesting experience. Thanks for sharing your visit as I never did post about ours.
A very nice place for a "getaway from fumes" and enjoy seeing beautiful homes. The history is also interesting to learn from a good museum.
I am curious about the distinction between AirBnB and bed and breakfast. Are they not the same thing? You see, I don’t get out much. 😀
So much to see and learn! New England towns are so beautiful!
The shutters on the houses appear to be real, functional shutters. Linda in Kansas
A nice little impromptu getaway - often the best kind.
