Love visiting. Nice trails, plenty of room for Covid times, historical markers for those of us interested in history. Great place to bring the family if you are looking to get outside. This time I walked down to the pond which was a nice walk.

A nice place for an easy and enjoyable walk. The signs around have local historical information. A great way to spend a few hours!

Well kept paths. Pleasant views. Historic house occassionally open. It is carry in carry out. No trash cans.

With so many trails, you can walk for hours. but if youre short on time, you can pick a short trail and a loop which might get you a 45 minutes to an hour. When the leaves fall, you really do have to look for an existing packed down path as there are no markers on direction to follow. Following walls in some areas is your best way to know youre on track.

Beautiful grounds, very nice trails.A little piece of American history and nature to walk through and enjoy.10/10 would recommend.

No matter what time of year I come here, it is always beautiful! With the draught, the swampy area where the herons nest in the spring is lower than Ive ever seen it.

Lovely open fields, easy forest trails, a flea market style display of historical, vintage and miscellaneous tools in Gould house (limited hours, donations accepted). The blight resistant chestnut trees planted near the Gould house along the open fields trail are pretty awesome too, especially in fall when the chestnuts are getting big, hairy and ripening!

Such a relaxing place to take a walk. Bring your dog and walk to the swamp. Enjoy the wildlife along the way. And introduce yourself to the owner of he is there with his little dog Nicky

This place has become very popular since quarantine and thats fine but please pick up after your dog and yourself I dont feel like stepping in it Everytime I want to go for a walk. :-P

Love love love love, what a great experience. Even got to meet the prior owner of the grounds, Russ and his little dog. He even offered me a tour of the old homestead. Amazing man, amazing land. Ill.be back again soon.

This is a great place to do a hike with the family. Its pretty flat and lots of well maintained trails. No facilities.

Very cool and nice place to stroll with friends or family and learn some history. Def nice in the fall time. Can be a little hard to find but put Monson Center in on Google maps brings you right to it

A wonderful place to walk or bike with picturesque views around every pathway.

Great place to walk around and explore. Very interesting place

Sensational hiking spot on this perfect fall day! 2 1/2 hrs!

Beautiful and well kept. Interesting history and lovely walking.

Nice area with well kept trails. Cute little historic area. All-in-all a very good time.

Nice loop. Several trails. Nice wide open space and one of the coolest historical areas in New Hampshire. Check it out. Read up on it first.

Really relaxing historical town with wide open fields and trails.

It’s a beautiful place to get out and experience the NH woods. Interesting history.

A beautiful hike filled with pre-American Revolution history. If you are fortunate enough to be there at the same time as the care-taker you can explore the one house thats still standing from the original town and has been filled with antiques. The care-taker is also a wealth of knowledge.

A pretty coo piece of history to visit

Well marked trails, and plenty of benches. We loved watching the blue herons.

Pretty, quiet, easy-moderate hike. There are marked historical locations throughout the area.

The caretaker is an amazing man!!!

Beautiful location. It was a nice easy walk and a fun place to explore. I cant wait to go back.

Great place for a peaceful walk in the woods.

Love bird watching here. Bring your binoculars!

Vary nice town to visit

Fun walk for the family

Great place to take a walk in the woods. Nice open fields and wooded trails with the bonus of s little history.

Great, quiet place to go for a nature walk. A little buggy but overall I enjoyed the trails and the history behind the location.

Its a great hike!

Very nice trail network with open fields and some interesting history. Parking onsite and easy access from the highway. Trail maps and historic information available at the property on site. Great place to explore for all ages. Trails are not difficult, but allow nice views of the abandoned village and surrounding wetlands. True hidden gem!

Great place to get a feeling of old way living

Nice place to get a hint of the life in the past without it feeling over done. Very relaxing trials with interesting nature, some of the growth on the rocks must date back quite far. The fields are large and can really make you feel like you live in that time period.

This place is absolutely the bomb. Its quite, unknown, dog friendly, beautiful for photos, snowmobiles, horseback riding or just taking a hike. There are plenty of trails and the fields are perfect for dogs who love fetch but dont do well near cars.

Beautiful walk definitely worth a visit if you havent been.

Great for a nice walk or hike. It has some very pretty landscape.

A quiet place where you can hike or just sit and enjoy the beauty of nature that surrounds you. There are historical sites to behold and read of giving some attention to the community that once inhabited the area.Dogs are welcome to responsible pet owners. A very lovely experience to enjoy in every season.

An interesting walk in the woods of a deserted town that once existed from 1737-1770, between Hollis NH and Milford NH. Some foundations of buildings that once stood here can still be seen. There is a small restored building that houses artifacts from a by-gone era. It still remains a puzzle why this settlement has been abandoned.

Nice walk through the area!

Trails of all varieties, open fields, and a restored historic home. Excellent for family outings.

Love this place for walks with the dog. Great history!!

A pretty hike and a nice destination to look forward to. Starting from the Hollis side makes the trip longer, but it is worth it.

Crappy parking. Easy trails for kids!

1700s NH village... Easy to get disoriented... map available... I used MyTracks app to keep track of my location... Donations appreciated...

Great place.. Cool history

Amazing loved it will go back

Its a colonial ghost town complete with cellar holes dating to the 1700s and a reconstructed house.

Had an awesome day visiting very very interesting and peaceful

I saw Monsoon Center and thought I was gonna enjoy feeling the full power of a monsoon straight in my face. However when I actually got here there was little to offer in hopes of a monsoon. I mean there is only a run down village here. Maybe it shows the aftermath of a monsoon. However either way it was very disappointing. But there was several doggos here and they were very nice. So I will rate 2 star for the doggos.

Its beautiful, and relaxing.

Ask the guy to tell you about the ghost in the picture.

Nice walk in a pretty well kept area with lots of history

Love it here forwalks

Every May/June there is a set of Blue Heron nests in Monson pond. With binoculars or a telephoto lens you can watch the chicks mature. We go there 4-6 times to see their progress and watch as they tentatively flap their wings testing.

Fun hike to see old foundations at a ghost town. Bring bug spray

Great place for a hike, especially if you have dogs or small children who really want to stretch their legs in the open fields.

Great place to go hiking with the dogs, and everyone seems friendly when you meet them on the trails

Beautiful here, and very quiet

Terrific place to go for a nice hike or a picnic.

The information center hours are difficult, leaving you with just a map instead of detailed information if you dont time it right.I got turned around easily, even with the map, as the trails arent clearly blazed.

Great place for walkers, dog friendly

A real ghost town!!

Very cool place great for kids
