I don't know Strafford, so I am not sure of the resources. Local papers, if you have any, are a great source. Just pick organizations that align with your hobbies and go from there. For me, I like being outside, so I volunteer at a zoo/park and met some great people. I do trail work with some outdoor organizations. Find the venues around you and check their websites for upcoming events and shows.

Being a curmudgeon probably does not help! It is hard though, especially in your late 20s. Everything will require a drive because its NH. Maybe hiking or camping groups, volunteer stuff that aligns with your interests, going out but have a meal at the bar and hang out if you feel weird, there are table top games in Rochester, sports leagues, look for a smaller and more social gym, look for a night class that interests you (woodworking, etc.), resort to technology-facebook, tinder, etc. to find things, look for cheap concerts, open mics, karaoke, local bands, comedy shows, etc.
