America’s most colorful states
Although Vermont is the Green Mountain State and New Hampshire boasts the White Mountains, it’s when Mother Nature paints the mountains with a kaleidoscope of vibrant colors that many groups head to northern New England.
These compact states are like treasure chests for visitors, filled with scenic wonders, historic sights, small-town charm and home-grown flavors.
New Hampshire stretches just 168 miles north to south, from broad white-sand
beaches to the rugged White Mountains and the Great North Woods. With most
major carriers now serving Manchester Airport, it’s easier than ever to begin your
tour right here and offer an in-depth visit to the area.
Historic Portsmouth, the third oldest town in America, is the centerpiece of the
coastal region. Founded in 1623, Portsmouth provides visitors a glimpse of
four centuries of American history and architecture. Strawbery Banke, the site of the original settlement, is now a living history museum encompassing historic houses from the 17th to 20th centuries.
Here, costumed guides and skilled craftspeople reach across the centuries to make your group feel like time travelers in this charming New England seaport. Beautiful at any season, Strawbery Banke is especially charming decked out in its holiday finery.
The Merrimack Valley was once bustling with textile mills, but they are now quiet, and the cities of Concord and Manchester now are home to a lively cultural scene year-round. The Currier Museum of Art in Manchester features an
outstanding collection, including works by Monet, Picasso and Matisse. A visit to the Zimmerman House, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, complete with original furnishings, can also be arranged.
One of the modern attractions in the region is the Christa McAuliffe Planetarium in Concord, named for NASA’s first “Teacher in Space.” It offers your group a fun way to learn about space science and aviation. From robotics to a simulator that lets visitors land a space shuttle, the planetarium offers a variety of activities that are both educational and entertaining for all ages.
