Most of us tend to think of dandelions as weeds – after all, if you leave your yard to its own devices, it’s more than likely that you’ll have them pretty much everywhere. However, what you may not realize is that these hardy little plants have tons of uses. Change your perspective with a day dedicated to dandelions at one of the coolest museums in New Hampshire.
Remick Country Doctor Museum and Farm in Tamworth is a lovely and fascinating place to visit any time of year — located on the historic homestead of two country doctors,it takes you back to a simpler time when nearly everything is done by hand. If you’re looking for a reason to visit, though, their seasonal festivals are especially wonderful.
