Freedom is a town located in Carroll County, New Hampshire, United States.
[3] The town's eastern boundary runs along the Maine state border.
Following an influx of new settlers from Maine, there was a conflict of culture and religion between them and people from the New Hampshire seacoast area who already populated Effingham.
The community, incorporated in 1831, was named "Freedom" to commemorate its separation from Effingham.
[1] The highest point in Freedom is the summit of Cragged Mountain in the northeastern corner of the town, at 1,806 feet (550 m) above sea level.
It is also home to one of the permanent campsites of the Luethi-Peterson Camps and to Cragged Mountain Farm, a co-ed summer camp on Cragged Mountain started by Dr. Henry Utter in 1927, and still owned by the Utter family.
