Just got back from a great weekend visiting the in-laws in Hanover, NH. While my sample size is limited, I think it's one of the great small towns of America. World-class university as the 'anchor tenant'. Nice, quaint 'main street' town center, with larger shops and amenities a short drive away. Easy access to outdoor activities like kayaking on the river, skiing, etc. 2-2.5 hr to a big city (Boston). Friendly people with New England reserve and sensibility.
The one downside for someone like me are the long and bitterly cold winters they experience -- pretty much a dealbreaker.
