About this city
Tamworth is a charming, historic pastoral town nestled beautifully within the dense pine-and-maple valleys of Carroll County, positioned flatly at the southern foothills of the sandwich range mountains. Granted meticulously in 1766 by Governor Benning Wentworth, the community has proudly maintained its deep ties to traditional farming, water-powered wool carding mills, and early folk performance cultures. Today, Tamworth serves as an exceptionally evocative, arts-centric residential and tourist escape, celebrated globally for housing one of the oldest continuously operating summer stock theaters in America.
