I've heard good things about bass pro shop! We did the free photos you take yourself with Santa at shady Hill but I keep telling my wife how let down I am that his mustache was on the bridge of his nose lol

You can try Bass Pro Shop in Hooksett. You may have to schedule it. Also, Bedford will have a Santa Parade with multiple stops and the final stop will be at 5pmish at Joppa Hill Farm.

You can walk to downtown, but it's a bit of a hike, especially when the weather is bad. It's an easy bike ride and a few of my neighbors bike to down town. There is a trail by the river at the end of dunbar street that comes out by the baseball stadium and connects to a pedestrian/bike bridge that goes over to the West side.

Overall, I would say that the biggest deterrent to walking/biking is the weather. There are some bike lanes, but they aren't protected and you're going to get splashed with rain/slush in bad weather. I also don't think the Dunbar trail is cleared in the winter.

Most of the houses are newer than 1930. I've got the oldest house on my street and it was built in 1935, so you should have some luck there.
