Swanzey, New Hampshire is located in southwestern New Hampshire and is home to historic covered bridges and old mill villages. Swanzey opened for settlement in 1733 and was originally called Lower Ashuelot. It was the site of many battles during the French and Indian wars. It received its charter and present name in 1753.

The Ashuelot River flows through Swanzey, and the town contains some good farm land. Swanzey boasts three picturesque covered bridges and was the home of theatrical trouper Denman Thompson (1833-1911), who gained a national reputation by his portrayal of the Yankee farmer Joshua Whitcomb, star of his stage play, "The Old Homestead." Swanzey residents reproduce Thompson's melodrama every summer at a natural outdoor amphitheater.

Swanzey has blended industry and business while retaining a scenic rural landscape. It is this combination of man-made and natural beauty that gives Swanzey its unique and vibrant character.
