The Town of Hopkinton, New Hampshire

The Town of Hopkinton is nestled in Merrimack County combining a well preserved history and natural beauty but with only a short commute to Boston.

The town has both the Contoocook and Warner Rivers running through it, as well as several brooks and lakes. According to statistics gathered in 2007, the estimated per capita income was $38,000 and the estimated median house value for Hopkinton was $314,000.
