Memorial Day in Littleton.
As we were wrapping up the Littleton Holiday Highlights, I got a nudge from a cold nose reminding me about the dogs! So here's one more for the doggies....

Thank you to all who watched, liked, and shared these holiday highlights! It has been so much fun hearing from our Littleton neighbors on why they love Littleton. The response to these videos with over 300,000 views was a big boost to us all and a great kick off to 2024! You can watch all these video messages at www.golittleton.tv. Stay tuned for more in 24! Hope to see you in Glad Town this year!
In 1910, Sears Roebuck Shoe Factory was located on Union Street. Later on it became Hitchner Manufacturing and was one of the largest employers in Littleton until 2014. After that time the big factory building was empty and deteriorating fast. In 2021, Allen Croteau purchased the building and together with his team have transformed the building into beautiful, upscale housing units and retail space, now known as Rail Trail Village . It is worth a visit to take a tour and view this thriving new village in town. Thanks, Al!
If your New Years resolutions includes taking a college course, then look no further than the Littleton Campus of the White Mountains Community College. This bustling campus offers a wide variety of programs and now features a state of the art technology center. Melanie Robbins, Interim President, led the college expansion from a two-classroom location to today's thriving campus on Union Street. She invites you to visit and take a tour, it is impressive to see and Littleton is fortunate to have a thriving community college right in town. Thanks, Melanie!
It all started with Dan making his grandmother's favorite jam recipe and selling a few jars at local farmer's markets. Seven years later, the White Mountains Canning Company is an emporium of delicious delicacies! Shelves stocked with homemade jams, jellies, pickles, and chocolate treats tempt all visitors to Littleton. Dan and his team have grown this small business into a popular Littleton attraction and always happy to help with community events. We look forward to see what they are cooking up next at White Mountains Canning Company!
Littleton is proud to be the town that features America's Oldest Ski Shop! Established in 1920, Lahout's is a 4th-generation family run business. Over the 103 years, Lahout's - America's Oldest Ski Shop expanded to other locations around Littleton and Lincoln featuring top clothing brands and quality ski equipment for all levels! The Lahouts family has always been active in giving back to our community and helped make skiing accessible to all! In this holiday video, owner, Ron Lahout encourages us all to get ready for the ski season and shares his enthusiasm for Littleton's vibrant downtown. Thanks, Ron
Littleton has always been fortunate to have the lowest electrical rates in the region and a well-run organization managing our water and electricity for over 120 years. The LWL crew is active in our community all year long - hanging flags on the light poles in the Summer and helping to decorate around town for the holidays! And did you notice a holiday rebate in your light bill in December? YAY! Thanks Littleton Water and Light!
The Hugh J. Gallen Career and Technical Center provides vocational education programs for students from Littleton High School and other regional high schools. The programs at the center are relevant and prepares students for employment through local internships and community service projects. Over 75,000 hours of community service has been completed by LHS students in this program! Connie Ward helped many of those students find opportunities at local businesses and tells us about this valuable asset in our community. Thanks, Connie!
Littleton's history is rich with stories of strong people and places. Many of these stories are featured at the Littleton Historical Museum. Located in the Opera House, the museum features vibrant displays of Littleton's past. If you have a question about your heritage or Littleton property, look no further than the volunteers at the museum to help you find details! In this video, Curator, Dick Alberini, shares his love of the museum and sharing stories with visitors. Take some time and visit the museum soon, it is a real town treasure.
If you are looking to attend a church service this holiday, look no further than one of the eight churches here in Littleton, all of different faiths. All our local churches have vibrant congregations and give back so much to the community. Sharing a peaceful wish for the holidays here is Jim Anan of Elevate Church. Enjoy and Merry Christmas.
Not far from the hustle and bustle of Main Street, Littleton has beautiful nature trails that offer a quiet space to walk among the trees. Keeping these special places, The Dells, Kilburn Crags and the Pine Hill Trails, are the members of the Littleton Conservation Commission, led by Tom Alt. Tom reminds us here of the natural beauty all around our town and to take some time this holiday season and enjoy a walk in the woods. Thanks, Tom!
We all love parades! But no one loves parades more around here than Dennis Hartwell! Dennis has coordinated the annual Littleton Christmas Parade for many years and it is a favorite tradition for many families for the day after Thanksgiving. Thanks Dennis for spreading the Christmas Cheer!
When you need color copies fast, who are you going to call? When you need to fax that form, where are you going to go? And when you need a new office chair pronto, you call Janet at Littleton Office Supply! Janet has been providing us all with friendly customer service for decades and you often see her delivering supplies herself around town. She values small town service with a smile and keeps us all stocked up! Littleton Office Supply is located downtown, Littleton and is a vital part of our business community - and always provides service with a smile! Thanks, Janet!
Thousands of Jack O 'Lanterns adorn the Ammonoosuc river in October and it all started with one guy putting out one pumpkin. That guy is Dave Harkless, and he hasn't stopped creating fun events and places for us all to enjoy. When he's not out riding his bike, he is teaching high school students how to fix them or clearing trails for us all to enjoy. When you are looking for something to do around town, look no further than stopping in at Littleton Bike and Fitness and ask Dave for a trail map to fun! Thanks, Dave!
For 44 years, Jean and Jim Mckenna have welcomed all to the cozy Coffee Pot Restaurant. Whenever you stop in, you always receive a hearty hello and a hot beverage to make you feel welcome. The Coffee Pot is located in downtown Littleton and Jean has volunteered many hours over the years to help make Littleton what it is today! So stop in, say hi to Jean, and enjoy a cup of cheer.

This holiday highlight looks behind Main Street to the River area. Before 2000, the River District area of Littleton was not very welcoming. With the help of many volunteers and forward thinkers, now our river area is something to be proud of and enjoy. Thanks to people like John Hennessey for putting in the time all these years to enhance our banks along the Mighty Ammonoosuc!
