Tamworth, NH Real Estate and Information . . .
Tamworth is just north of Ossipee and East of Effingham off Whi te Mountain Highway (Rt. 16). Home of White Lake State Park, and the Barnstormers Theatre, Tamworth has a lot to offer for visitors year round and it's a fantastic place to enjoy the "laid back" lifestyle. Small business and self-employment are the prominent sources of work within the town. Centrally located, many commute in almost every direction for employment, and enjoy the lower housing costs. Like many other towns in the Mount Washington Valley, Tamworth houses a large percentage of vacation homeowners who are not full time residents.
Tamworth has its share of affordable homes, but it also has many exceptional properties in the luxury real estate category.
Tamworth is a town in Carroll County, New Hampshire with a population of 2,510 at the 2000 census. Tamworth includes the villages of Chocorua, South Tamworth, Wonalancet, and Whittier. The White Mountain National Forest is to the north. The town is home to Hemenway State Forest in the north and White Lake State Park in the southeast.
Granted in 1766 by Colonial Governor Benning Wentworth, this town was named in honor of his close friend, British Admiral Washington Shirley, Viscount Tamworth. The admiral's daughter, Selina Shirley, was instrumental in the founding of Dartmouth College. The village of Whittier, like Mount Whittier in Ossipee, is named for the poet John Greenleaf Whittier. The Chinook Kennels here raised sled dogs for the Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd AntarcticArmy's search-and-rescue units. The Barnstormers Theatre summer playhouse was established here in 1931 by Francis Grover Cleveland, son of the president. He supported the theatre until his death in 1995. Barnstormers is hailed as the oldest continuously running professional theatre in the state.
