Dublin Webcam, New Hampshire

The Dublin Webcam looks across the headquarters of Yankee Publishing in Dublin, New Hampshire, the small Monadnock Region town where The Old Farmer’s Almanac and Yankee magazine are published. Mounted on the side of the company’s Thomas Building, the camera faces the long red Sagendorph Building, with the white steeple of the Dublin Community Church rising behind its roof and an American flag on a tall pole to its right. Main Street runs along the right side of the picture past a row of white buildings, and a lawn and the staff parking lot fill the foreground. Nothing dramatic happens here, and that is the appeal: cars come and go with the working day, the flag shows the wind, and the trees around the village turn from green to autumn gold to bare.

About Dublin and Yankee Publishing

Dublin lies in Cheshire County on Route 101, about 21 kilometers (13 miles) east of Keene and 10 kilometers (6 miles) west of Peterborough, and the northern slopes of Mount Monadnock take up the southern part of the town. It was granted in 1749 as Monadnock No. 3, incorporated in 1771 and named after Dublin, Ireland, the birthplace of Henry Strongman. The 2020 census counted 1,532 residents. The village center stands at 455 meters (1,493 feet), and the small building to the left of the Town Hall, home of the police department, is called the 1493 House after that figure. Yankee describes it as the highest elevation of any village center in New Hampshire.

Robb Sagendorph founded Yankee magazine in Dublin in 1935, and the company bought The Old Farmer’s Almanac in 1939. The red building that fills most of the picture is named for him: he also edited the Almanac from 1941 to 1970 as its 11th editor. The camera’s own building honors Robert B. Thomas, who founded the Almanac and edited it from 1792 to 1846. The former Dublin General Store stands just behind the Sagendorph Building. Yankee notes that a fire truck sometimes appears at the far right, because the fire station is next door, and the ring-shaped sun sculpture on the lawn casts its shadow on the inside of its own rings.

The steeple belongs to the Dublin Community Church, built in 1852 where Church Street meets Main Street. During the Hurricane of 1938, Yankee recounts, the wind snapped the steeple off, spun it around and drove it through the church roof. The church, the Town Hall of the early 1880s and the Yankee offices all stand in the Dublin Village Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. Mark Twain spent two summers in Dublin. The camera’s current YouTube broadcast has been running since January 2019.

Weather and Climate in Dublin, New Hampshire

At 455 meters (1,493 feet), Dublin is a hill town with long winters. Open-Meteo’s archive for the village from 2015 to 2024 puts January highs near -1°C (30°F) and lows near -10°C (14°F). Snow typically falls from November into April, so the lawn and the roofs in the picture can stay white for weeks. March still averages highs of only 5°C (40°F), and April reaches 11°C (52°F).

Summer is warm rather than hot. July averages highs of 26°C (80°F) and lows of 16°C (61°F). Rain or snow comes in every month, typically 80 to 120 millimeters (3 to 5 inches). September highs average 21°C (70°F) and October highs 15°C (58°F), the months when the trees around the village change color. In early November the small tree beside the parking lot still held gold leaves while the larger trees behind the building had gone bare.

Things to Do Near Dublin, New Hampshire

Mount Monadnock, 965 meters (3,165 feet) high, is the big draw, and Dublin has its own way up. The Pumpelly Trail starts on Lake Road about 0.8 kilometers (half a mile) south of the east end of Dublin Lake and runs about 13 kilometers (8 miles) round trip, the longest and most gradual route to the summit, with a rough, rocky stretch higher up. Monadnock State Park has its headquarters on the Jaffrey side of the mountain, and Jaffrey is 10 kilometers (6 miles) south of Dublin on Route 137. Dublin Lake, also known as Dublin Pond, lies beside Route 101 west of the village; the first village center stood nearer the water and was abandoned because the winters there were harsher.

In town, The Friendly Farm is a hands-on petting farm where children can feed the goats; check its season before you go. Peterborough, 10 kilometers (6 miles) east on Route 101, has the Peterborough Players theater and the Mariposa Museum, and Pack Monadnock rises over Miller State Park nearby. Neighboring Harrisville has the Harrisville General Store and Harrisville Designs, and concerts are held in the Spinning Room of its granite mill.
