The best photos of Dartmouth College aren't always at the obvious landmarks. Sure, Baker-Berry Library and Dartmouth Green will fill your camera roll, but the real magic is in the side streets, the reflected light, and the unexpected angles that only reveal themselves to those exploring on foot. Seek out Orozco Murals for the kind of shot that no one else is posting.
The smallest Ivy, set in the woods of rural New Hampshire — a campus built around a storied green where Daniel Webster once studied.

Dartmouth College attracts visitors for history and art, and Baker-Berry Library and Dartmouth Green and every landmark doubles as a photography opportunity when you know where to stand and when the light is best. A photography-focused walk pays attention to reflections, leading lines, and street scenes between the landmarks. Hidden photogenic spots like Orozco Murals reward those who wander off the main path.
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.
