Discover Hooksett

Hooksett offers several distinct points of interest to consider when planning a stay. The Robie Store represents a long family history and serves breakfast and lunch. At the Hooksett Riverwalk Trail, conservation, wildlife, and protected species are the focus of the kiosk information described; the Head’s Pond Trail provides access to a fishing spot. You can first decide whether you would rather include a historical connection, nature-related topics, or fishing in your travel plans. The following sections explain how these focuses differ and how you can factor them into your choice of destination.

History at the Robie Store

The Robie Store has been operated by the Robie family since 1887; in 2000, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places. The dates mark two distinct historical milestones: 1887 represents the family business, while 2000 marks its later listing on the register. The store combines this historical connection with a specific food offering: its fully equipped kitchen serves breakfast and lunch. If you would like to combine a meal with a visit, check the opening hours in advance.

Hooksett Historical Society

The Hooksett Historical Society works with the state historical society and the Hooksett Public Library. The goal of this collaboration is to collect and preserve materials of significance to Hooksett and make them available to students and scholars. If you are planning to consult the materials, check access arrangements before your visit.

Nature and Wildlife at the Riverwalk

The Hooksett Riverwalk Trail is one of Hooksett’s conservation areas. A 2020 description by the Hooksett Conservation Commission notes updated trail maps and information signs for these protected areas. The kiosk information about the Riverwalk described there covers wildlife and protected species along the river trail, including the bald eagle. In this description, the maps and kiosk information serve different purposes: the maps provide orientation, while the kiosk information focuses on wildlife and species conservation. The bald eagle is a specific example of the protected species covered. In this respect, the Riverwalk differs from the Robie Store, where family history and meals take center stage.

Fishing at the Head’s Pond Trail

The Head’s Pond Trail provides access to a fishing spot. Unlike the Riverwalk, where the information described focuses on wildlife and protected species, the specific point of interest here is the opportunity to fish. This comparison answers a practical question: Are you looking for a fishing spot, or would you rather explore the conservation topics along the Riverwalk?
