Because the colony closely guards the privacy of its resident artists, only Colony Hall and MacDowell's gravesite are accessible to the public; phone (603) 924-3886.
Nearly as venerable is the Peterborough Players, a professional summer theater company that performs in a theater within a converted 18th-century barn at Stearns Farm, just 3 miles from downtown at 55 Hadley Rd.; phone (603) 924-7585.
