SPEAK TO A SALES PROFESSIONAL

New Hampshire, in the northeastern New England region, is bordered by Maine and Gulf of Maine (east), Vermont (west), Massachusetts (south), and Canadian province, Quebec (north). Known for its extensive granite formations and quarries that cover the state that add to the landscape’s beauty and many other natural attractions. Vast expanses of wilderness and forest, rivers, lakes, and valleys dotted with picturesque towns and villages with white steepled churches that stand out against the glorious color of fall foliage, and many outdoor recreational activities draw visitors year-round to this beautiful state.
New Hampshire is also known as the White Mountain State and Switzerland of America for White Mountain National Forest in the north resembling the Swiss Alps with its downhill skiing and winter sports resorts.

At 6,288ft Mount Washington is the region’s highest peak and features a cog railway to the summit with a view that spans four states on a clear day. The Cog Railway was the first of its kind in 1869. At the summit is the Mt Washington Observatory research station of extreme weather; in 1934, Mt Washington’s winter winds set the world’s windspeed record. Valley Ski Resorts of North Conway and Mt Washington is one of the first ski resorts in America and continues to be a major ski destination, along with many other winter sports.

Europeans arrived in early 17th century; English established settlements and the Province of New Hampshire, named for Hampshire County in England, in 1629. Strawbery Banke is the name of the first settlement in 1623 that is now Portsmouth on the harbor. The 10-acre Strawbery Banke Museum is comprised of houses from four centuries of the old port neighborhood, period gardens, a 1770 tavern, WWII era market, and costumed interpreters demonstrating life activities including boatbuilding. In 1776 New Hampshire was the first colony to establish an independent government and its own state constitution, signing the US Declaration of Independence six months later that same year, and became the 9th state to ratify the US Constitution in 1788. Among the smallest of US states, New Hampshire is first in the nation to hold presidential primary elections after the Iowa Caucus.

After the Civil War, New Hampshire experienced rapid industrialization with textile manufacturing, shoemaking, and papermaking. Manchester, NH was once the site of the largest cotton textile plant in the world. New Hampshire’s economy greatly depended on paper mills and grain mills powered by its rivers. The 110-mile Merrimack River and 410-mile Connecticut River were lined with industrial mills. After WWII, there was a major shift in the state’s economic base to financial and professional services, education, transportation, and high-tech industries which took over the old mills and warehouses along the seacoast, Merrimack River and Upper Valleys after the textile industry collapsed in 1960. The growing tourism industry based on outdoor recreation also helped offset the loss of mill closures. New Hampshire is a major winter sports destination with some of the highest ski mountains on the East Coast.

Mount Monadnock, a stand-alone mountain, is the world’s most climbed mountain, as it is easily climbed in a day and its 35-mile trail network offers trails for a wide range of hiking abilities. Hikers are rewarded with unobstructed picture postcard views of quaint villages, church spires, and covered bridges, especially spectacular during fall foliage season, an area dubbed “Currier & Ives Corner.” Hiking to view spectacular gorges, such as the Flume Gorge in Franconia Notch State Park has become a popular recreational activity. Flume Gorge is an 800ft long crack in rock at the base of Mt Liberty. Its walls rise 70-80ft above the flowing brook and boardwalk. The first aerial tramway in North America, Cannon Mountain Aerial Tramway, carried its first passengers in 1938 to the 4,080ft summit above Franconia Notch for incredible views of the gorge below. Cannon Mountain was the site of the “Old Man of the Mountain” rock formation until it collapsed in 2003.

Lost River Gorge and Boulder Caves in Kinsman Notch features a 60ft suspension bridge with viewing platform and 750ft boardwalk trail through glacial boulder caves and tumbling waterfalls.
Summer cottages dot the many lakes and seacoast. New Hampshire has only 18 miles of coastline on the Atlantic Ocean, making it the shortest ocean coastline of any coastal US state. But New Hampshire’s natural beauty—valleys, rivers, lakes, mountains—is its prominent feature, more than makes up for its small coastline. Hampton Beach, on the New Hampshire seacoast, is a popular local summer resort destination, as it has been for generations. The Hampton Beach Casino Ballroom built in 1899 is a live music and comedy performances venue on the boardwalk that lines the beautiful white sand beach. Annual sand sculpting competition, movies on the beach, fireworks, plus deep-sea fishing trips from the harbor are just some of the summer activities at this popular beach. Concerts are held at Hampton Beach State Park’s Seashell Stage during the summer season.

Popular beaches on the west side are Weirs Beach and Meredith, and Wolfeboro on the east side. All kinds of watersports and boating, from kayaks to sailboats and motorboats are enjoyed on the lake. The New Hampshire Motor Speedway, located directly south of Laconia, is the largest sports and entertainment facility in New England and hosts NASCAR National Series races and Motorcycle Week, a popular annual rally held in June—Weirs Beach, Laconia on west shore of Lake Winnipesaukee is a favorite bikers’ destination.
The only significant ocean port is where the Piscataqua River and its tributaries flow into the Atlantic at Portsmouth at New Hampshire’s south border with Maine.
