The community is home to the photographic Lovejoy Covered Bridge, one of five located in the state, and the Appalachian Trail passes through the western edge of town.

Other outdoor activities in the area include cross-country skiing, fishing, hunting, boating, hiking and camping. The village of Andover consists of two general stores, two restaurants, three bed & breakfast inns, two churches and several other small businesses.
