The real Dartmouth College lives beyond the tourist trail. In the neighborhoods where locals actually spend their time, you'll find places like Orozco Murals and The Dartmouth Organic Farm that make a city worth knowing. Even around well-known spots like Baker-Berry Library and Dartmouth Green, one street over the crowds disappear entirely.
The smallest Ivy, set in the woods of rural New Hampshire — a campus built around a storied green where Daniel Webster once studied.

Most visitors come to Dartmouth College for the well-known history and art attractions, but the most memorable moments happen off the main path. Side streets one block from Baker-Berry Library, residential quarters, quiet courtyards — these are the parts of Dartmouth College that feel genuine. Places like Orozco Murals and The Dartmouth Organic Farm are the kind of spots locals would actually recommend.
The campus is compact and centered on the Green. Baker Library and the Orozco Murals are a must. Walk north to the Hop, then continue to the Connecticut River. Main Street in Hanover runs along the south edge.
Fall (September-October) for peak New England foliage — among the best in the Ivy League. Winter is snowy and beautiful. Spring and summer reveal the lush Connecticut River valley.
