Far far far into the New Hampshire forest lies an old castle ruin. Well it may not be that far into the forest, but there is an old castle ruin and that’s as best of an imagination you’re going to get from me. Truth be told there really is a castle ruin in the forest of New Hampshire. How far into it though I’m not sure. It is a walkable distant from where you can park your car though. And I believe it’s a long a walking trail.
This old castle ruin belonged to a lady named Madame Sherri. In all honesty I’ve never heard of the woman. At least I didn’t until a couple of weeks ago when my husband was looking for places to go and stuff to do with our daughter and her friend. Leave it to him to find an old “castle” ruin of sorts for us to explore here in the states.
It was not that far of a drive for us considering we like to drive to places. and once we got there I was some what impressed. There isn’t a lot left to Madame Sherri’s castle. But there is enough to get some cool pictures and we were able to go in her basement of all places. From what I understand of her, she was a well know costume designer in her time and famous people who lived in New York City liked to take a train, or whatever transportation there was back then, to her house and they would have parties on the weekends. I’m guessing she gave rather good parties if people wanted to stay all weekend. Either that or they were all so drunk they couldn’t go anywhere if they tried.
There really isn’t much to see of these ruins like a said, but what is there is nice and you could get some pretty cool pictures especially during the Fall season when the leaves are changing colors and on the ground. There is also a nice walking path near by that we enjoyed walking on.
The forest is about 2 and a half hours west of the New York Capital Region. It is located in the Madame Sherri Forest, Gulf Rd, Chesterfield, NH.
