Holiday in New Hampshire

Orientation

Getting There

New Hampshire is a state located in the northeastern United States in a region referred to as "New England" due to its history and early European settlements. The state is bordered by Maine, Vermont, and Massachusetts as well as touching the Canadian border to the north. The main cities are situated around Portsmouth, Concord, and Manchester with most east coast visitors flying into the Manchester – Boston Regional Airport or arriving by car.

Activities

Destination for nostalgia seekers

From Clark's trading post to the Conway Scenic Railroad, there are so many charming historic corners to explore in New Hampshire. Being one of the thirteen original states, there are many old European-style farmhouses and early administrative buildings to take you back to an earlier time in America's history. The natural scenery also served as the home to many different tribes of Native Americans throughout the centuries.

Destination for scientists

While New Hampshire is officially an American state, the history of the North American continent goes back millions of years. Geologists and other scientists will love the Polar Caves Park, which were created by glaciers during the last Ice Age. The caves are located near Plymouth in the south of White Mountain National forest, and can be explored by self-guided walking paths. To continue on your scientific journey, make sure to stop by Mount Washington Observatory to turn your attention from the earth to the stars.

Destination for outdoorsmen

By far the most visited reason people travel to New Hampshire is for the beautiful natural scenery. New Hampshire is divided into seven regions filled with mountains, valleys, rivers, and lakes which attract nearby Boston residents to seek out attractive nature vacation rentals. The state also shares other classical New England trademarks such as its beautiful foliage in the autumn months, which turns the forests into deep shades of burgundy, saffron, and pumpkin.

When the United States formally broke away from England, New Hampshire was the first state to make the leap a full six months ahead of the singing of the Declaration of Independence.
