New Hampshire Entertainment Guide
New Hampshire is steeped in Colonial history, having been around when the country was still in the cradle. People in New Hampshire celebrated the Declaration of Independence in the same cities, towns, buildings, pubs and streets that visitors flock to by the thousands today. The Industrial Revolution saw cities in the Merrimack Valley such as Manchester and Milford turn into chugging regional centers of manufacturing. The Seacoast Region was already becoming a haven for travelers in the early 19th century. In 1911, 780,000 acres — most of the northern third of the state — was set aside as White Mountain National Forest.
Today, the entire state is a paradise for visitors and prospective new residents. Along with the heaping helping of history, there’s jaw-dropping natural splendor and recreational opportunities to be found among the 1,300 lakes scattered across the state and the rugged White Mountains to the north. Dartmouth College, the Ivy League school in Hanover near the Vermont border, makes the Lake Sunapee region an educational and cultural destination. The southern sector of the state remains the most economically diverse. There are considerable business interests, and the area continues to grow as a Boston bedroom community with Interstate 93 funneling thousands of commuters out of New Hampshire and into Massachusetts each morning.
