History of The Wentworth in Jackson, NH

Jackson, NH was at first known as New Madbury, after being settled by residents from Madbury, and was renamed in 1829 in honor of Andrew Jackson. The first influx of tourists came by coach, and later by train, staying in the outskirts of town with local families to take in the beautiful scenery. Many of New Hampshire’s art galleries feature paintings that the artists of the era created during their visit to this enchanting town.

Fifty years after Jackson took its new name, the red covered “Honeymoon Bridge” was built and the little village’s romantic reputation was born. Today’s tourists come for the very same breathtaking scenery and now stay in the heart of Jackson Village in private bed and breakfasts. To this day, newlyweds make it a point to include a formal photo at the famous “Honeymoon Bridge.”

Nearing the end of the 1800’s one notable bed and breakfast, the Wentworth, became the heart of the town owning its own laundry, electrical plant, pasteurization plant, blacksmith, casino and a formal ballroom. While many of these services have been replaced with newer bed and breakfasts or restaurants, Jackson still boasts the best of all worlds. Today’s Jackson includes gold courses, elegant dining, family recreation, historic buildings, evening entertainment, and unique shops.
