The Dartmouth-Lake Sunapee area of New Hampshire spans from Bradford up Interstate 89 to the border of Vermont in the city of Lebanon. It includes Hanover, hometown to Dartmouth College and the Mary Hitchcock Medical Center. Centered in this area is Lake Sunapee and the town of Sunapee. Upon the lake many celebrities live, most notably Steve Tyler of the band Aerosmith. These two areas don't really fit together but are always clumped as such as neither are large enough to get their own calling.
The Dartmouth-Lake Sunapee area of the U.S. state of New Hampshire, ranges from Bradford northwest along Interstate 89 to New Hampshire's border with Vermont at the city of Lebanon.
The central and south-east portion of this area is Lake Sunapee and the town of Sunapee, a popular summer recreation and resort area.
The "Dartmouth-Lake Sunapee" moniker is largely a convenience for visitors to the area; residents of the Upper Valley and Sunapee consider themselves to live in two separate regions of the state.
Dartmouth College has proven to be a magnet for the area, pulling in a wealth of cultural, scientific and business interests.
Dartmouth College is home to the Hopkins Center for Performing and Creative Arts, offering a variety of musical, theatrical, film and fine art events throughout the year.
Sunapee Harbor and New London, NH are each home to one of a number of community theater groups in the area.
