New Hampshire


The White Mountains in the Parlor exhibit is our favorite 'indoor space' in the entire Granite State. In this small gallery, vast 19th-century landscape paintings of the striking White Mountains inspire thoughts of adventure. Artifacts in the rest of the compact museum highlight key events in the state's history, with muskets, a voting ballot box used between 1850 and 1980, a 1972 Ski-Doo and more.
