“As a young professional, I am absolutely delighted to spearhead my first year as Editor-in-Chief of the Discover Hanover® magazine. 2026 marks the 18th edition of the publication, and this year brought many new and exciting additions to the town that I wanted to showcase.
Having moved to the Hanover area nearly two years ago, I used a fresh pair of eyes to highlight what I’ve enjoyed as I’ve grown familiar with the region. If there is anything you need to know about me, it’s that I love a good adventure, and that is exactly who I would like to dedicate this edition to: fellow adventurers.
Whether you are local, planning a visit to the area, or simply want to learn more about what makes Hanover special, Discover Hanover® encourages you to have fun, explore, and find joy here.
I hope you enjoyed flipping through this magazine as much as I loved producing it!
Happy travels!”
— Ava Kidd, Editor-in-Chief
