There are many ways to get into the New England autumn spirit, but, for me, Hollis, N.H., in southern New Hampshire has always been one of the most colorful leaves amongst fall travel destinations.<\/p>\n

This small town located just west of Nashua, N.H., offers an instantly appealing rural New England ambiance with its scenic rolling hills, open fields, big old barns, winding country roads, welcoming farm stands, beautiful Silver Lake State Park and an entire quaint village center listed on the National Register of Historic Places.<\/p>\n

When the leaves start to change color and that unmistakable crisp autumn air saturates the town, Hollis holds it annual Hollis Town Band Apple Festival the first Sunday of October (this year, Sunday, October 6, 2019. 2-4 p.m.). All that is good about the New England fall takes up full residence \u00a0at this downtown event with the Hollis Town Band performing marches, symphonic pieces and popular compositions in and around the idyllic town common,\u00a0homemade apple pies and apple crisp for sale (baked by Hollis Women’s Club members), and arts and crafts activities and vendors. Admission to the event is free.<\/p>\n
