During the early 20th century, the region became a popular destination for summer vacationers seeking tranquil New England landscapes. Today, East Jaffrey forms the primary commercial and historic heart of the town of Jaffrey, maintaining its historic charm, forested country roads, and proximity to Monadnock State Park.

"My dear Mrs. Shepard! – I was very glad to get the nice long letter from you, and to know that you summer has begun in such a quiet restful way. I will write you soon, but just now am not feeling quite able to do so. It has been very warm ever since July came and I have been rather ill. Uncle and Kittie have been at 'the Lake' a number of times and I have many cards of that vicinity. Lovingly, Nellie D."
