Uniquely New Hampshire
New Hampshire has always been fiercely independent, and its history, museums and festivals reflect that trait. Roy Campanella and Don Newcombe broke baseball's color barrier with the Nashua Dodgers in 1946, and Holman Stadium is now a stop on the Black Heritage Trail. Three of the state's historic mansions--the Fells, the Castle in the Clouds and the Saint-Gaudens historic site--remain as impressive today as when they were built. Portsmouth's historic homes give a portrait of life in colonial and Revolutionary times. From the New England Telephone Museum in Warner to the Exeter UFO Festival, the state has a wealth of history on display.
Kathleen D. Bailey and Sheila R. Bailey lead a trip through the past and present of the Granite State's most memorable sites.
