Hillsborough is a favorite town for sightseeing with its many older homes and surrounding old farms and mills. Weekend browsing at the antique shops, barns, yard sales, and gift shops is not to be missed either. Hillsborough’s largest employer, Osram-Sylvania established in 1971 is centrally located and surrounded by additional businesses such as Shaws and McDonalds. Residents can take advantage of city conveniences within a small town setting. Restaurants range from Sampan Chinese to German John’s Bakery & Tookey Mills.

The Hot Air Balloon Festival at Grimes field is not to be missed; an all weekend event during summertime which is like an old country fair with rides and food. The German Festival and The Arts and Crafts Fair in the park during the year are other main events.

Hillsborough is the birthplace of our 14^th President of the United States, Franklin Pierce, and the Franklin Pierce Homestead is available for tours. Rich in natural resources with lakes and rivers for swimming, fishing, and hiking trails in its state forest or golfing, Hillsborough offers many areas to explore and enjoy.
