This year, they’ll have a sweet new attraction: New Hampshire’s Ice Cream Trail.

Michelle Cruz, director of the Division of Travel and Tourism Development, cited the visitor figures at Richardson Farm in Boscawen, a stop on the newly expanded trail where owner Jim Richardson and his staff craft handmade ice cream from locally-sourced dairy.
