Lyman is a pretty little town, located near Monroe, just southwest of Littleton.

The town is named after Phineas Lyman, a war hero of the French and Indian War. It was the former home of a factory that constructed leather goods.

A pretty church and lovely farms decorated the landscape here, against the backdrop of the picturesque Gardner Mountain range.

Dining and lodging are available in Littleton (about 8 miles).

Lyman is a great place to view wildlife, such as moose, deer and beaver.
