Welcome to Orford

Orford sits on the Connecticut River in Grafton County, between Lyme and Piermont, with Vermont across the water and the Appalachian Trail crossing its eastern hills. The town has two centers: the main village on NH Route 10 along the river, and Orfordville on NH Route 25A several miles east. Anyone weighing Orford NH real estate will find it best known for The Ridge, a row of seven Federal-style houses built between 1773 and 1839.

Living in Orford, NH

The main village holds the schools and post office, while the town hall is in Orfordville. The Ridge's seven homes show the influence of architect Asher Benjamin, and a Dartmouth architecture professor called them the finest group of Federal-style houses in the United States. Washington Irving visited in 1832 and praised the village. Orford also claims a first in transport: in 1793 Samuel Morey demonstrated a paddlewheel steamboat on the river here. Most of the town drains through Jacobs Brook to the Connecticut, but the northeast corner around Upper and Lower Baker Ponds flows to the Baker River and the Merrimack. Camps Merriwood and Moosilauke are on Upper Baker Pond. Mount Cube, at 2,909 feet, is the high point, and the northern slopes of Smarts Mountain fill the southeast corner. Orford is in the Rivendell Interstate School District.
