Rochester, known as the Lilac City, is located in southeastern New Hampshire.  With a population of almost 32,000, Rochester is one of the largest cities in New Hampshire.  Rochester is only a short distance from the Lakes Region, the White Mountains and the Seacoast.

Whether covered with its famous lilacs in the spring, flowers blooming in the summer, spectacular autumn foliage or fresh-fallen snow, the Rochester area is a scenic delight.
One of Rochester's many attributes is its excellent air, highway, rail and water transportation connections.  Major highways include routes 11, 108, 125, 202 and the Spaulding Turnpike (Route 16), a four lane, limited access highway with six exits to the City.  This provides easy access to Interstate 95, the Pease International Tradeport, Boston's Logan Airport, Manchester International Airport, the Portland International Jetport and the Port of Portsmouth.
