Nestled against the Massachusetts and Vermont borders are six New Hampshire communities largely unconnected with the rest of their home state. The picturesque bedroom and summer vacation communities of Swanzey; Ashuelot; Winchester; Richmond; Fitzwilliam; and Hinsdale all developed from industrial or agricultural economies; although this fact is less than apparent today. The factories have nearly all vanished; and so has the extreme wealth and glamorous lifestyle of former residents like playwright Denman Thompson. Routes 10 and 12 are still the main roads that connect these towns; however; and the Ashuelot River is slowly recovering from years of pollution in a return to its pure and natural state. In fact; the area�s Old Homestead persona seems to have experienced a revival in recent years in the absence of major industry; and it becomes more and more important for residents and tourists alike to be reminded of the area�s nineteenth-century economic development.
