Full of nooks and crannies, this very old building exudes Yankee thrift and durability. Set amid the town, and not walled off from the flow of life, the capitol building screams New Hampshire. Live free or die!

Just a few minutes off the highway, the Audubon Center is a "must-see" for nature lovers. There are several well maintained hiking trails. We took the yellow trail through a beautiful woodland to the pond. The trail is well marked and mostly level, but the protruding roots and rocks demand hikers' attention. In the welcome center there is a classroom where visitors can get up close to study preserved animals. This was one of my favorite spots. There is also a building in the back where injured raptor are housed. The 90 minutes we were here were well spent. Our thanks to those who care for this land and it's animals.

I took my wife and my step duaghter here to pick apples for their first time. The ride to the orchard was amazing cause you keep going farther in the woods then you go up a hill. As soon as you come out of the woods, it is a beautiful view. You have a great variety of apples to pick.I would highly recommend bringing a camera. This is definitley a family adventure.

Statue honoring the historic statesman is located outside the State Capitol.
Reviewed By TampaAerialMedia - Tampa, United States
Daniel Webster is often forgotten, but really has some great quotes, a very wise man. While some of tried to make him for slavery, nothing could be further from the truth. He supported John Quincy Adams who did more for the abolitionists than any man up to Lincoln. The state house is also the oldest state house in US a beautiful sit.
