Lincoln is a small and scenic town nestled in the heart of New Hampshire’s White Mountains. The town is framed from all sides by natural beauty, from Franconia Notch State Park to Flume Gorge and then around the bend to Mount Liberty. If you’re hiked out and looking for a different kind of attraction in the White Mountains, check out these two roadside curiosities in Lincoln.
Bring your "Frozen" dreams to life in the enormous ice castle housed in Lincoln during the winter months. Ice artists use hundreds of thousands of icicles to put together the sprawling space.
The castle is then lit up with LED light installations and jazzed up with ice slides that whip you around the compound. The mammoth castle even includes fountains with running water. The effect is breathtaking.
Seated in the restored 1950s passenger train, you'll feel like you've been transported to a different decade. It may be a refreshing change from ever shrinking airplane seats and peanuts.
If you’re traveling to the White Mountains, there’s more to see than just stunning natural beauty. In Lincoln, revel in the artistry of the ice castles and enjoy a gourmet meal on a retro train a la Agatha Christie, without the murder that is.
