http://www.RudyMayer.com - West of Nashua, along the Massachusetts border, lies the affluent community of Hollis., with a landscape of rolling fields, apple orchards, and stately colonial homes. Governor Benning Wentworth named Hollis in honor of the distinguished Holles family of England, and the town was incorporated in 1746. Founded in 1746 as a farming town, Hollis still clings to its rural past. With a population of 6,000 today, the town is still largely an agricultural community known for its apples, strawberries, and corn. More than 2,000 acres of Hollis land remains in active agricultural use today. The center of town is a designated Historic District which includes more than 100 historic homes and buildings. The town has an active historic commission, and the Hollis meetinghouse is in the National Register of Historic Places. A number of other historic farmhouses and homes can be found throughout town. Hollis Town Common is the site of annual apple and strawberry festivals. Outside the town center, sprawling orchards, rolling fields, and stately farms neighbor large, contemporary homes. Equestrians are welcome at the public riding ring adjoining the town recreational fields.
