Hampton Falls is a quaint community in the heart of the bustling New Hampshire Seacoast.

The town is located near I-95, one of the nation’s main north-south corridors.
Horse farming is prevalent in the area and this accounts for part of the requests for building permits – to build horse barns. Within the town itself, Hampton Falls provides a small but vibrant business community with several stores, a shopper’s village, antique shops, and restaurants. Also impacting the tax base is one of the larger employers in Hampton Falls, the Applecrest Orchard. The Orchard is one of the oldest operational apple orchards in the country.

Among some of these structures is Old Hampton Falls Free Library which was build in 1835, Dodge Mill which was built in 1765, an old one-room school house on Drinkwater Road, as well as several colonial homes.
In its effort to maintain its rural character and environment, Hampton Falls has setting aside hundreds of acres of its marshland as a conservation preserve. This nature center is complete with a handicap-accessible trail which is marked with descriptions of the birds and plant life that can be observed along the path.
