Latest Concord hotel reviews
ZeekLTK Says: We were surprised to come across a replica of the Liberty Bell sitting on the front lawn of the New Hampshire State Capitol building.It wasn't a true replica though, since it was clearly not made out of the same materials. It did look pretty similar though, and even had "the...
ZeekLTK Says: New Hampshire's Capitol Building is right in downtown Concord.We only briefly stopped in the city for lunch during our roadtrip, so we didn't get a chance to go inside. However, we did check out the exterior of the building and it was fairly interesting.According to signs in...
Legislative Office Building Service Memorial
atufft Says: On the west side of the capitol building, in front of the legislative office building, there is a memorial for those local police, firefighters, soldiers, and others who died in service to the community, state, or nation. The legislative office building is also of some...
St. Paul's Episcopal and Centerpoint Churches
atufft Says: The Protestant roots being deep in New England generally, Concord has it's share of noteworthy churches worth a photo or two. Quite near the capitol building are the Episcopal and Baptist Churches. Probably the most well endowed, the St. Paul's Episcopal Church, right across...
atufft Says: Across from the Capitol Building, in front of the old State Libary Building (claimed to be the first such "state library" in the nation) , is a tribute to the state that has been for many years first in the presidential primary campaign for both the Democratic and Republican...
Mary Baker Eddy and Christian Science
atufft Says: Mary Baker Eddy first resided in Bow, which is next to Concord, but she later had a large house in Concord, across from the president day hospital. The house is gone, but there's a sign marking the spot and describing a bit about the Ms. Eddy and her founding of the...
atufft Says: The most famous New Hampshire born naval officer is certainly Commodore George H. Perkins, if for no other reason than his extraordinary bronze and granite tribute at the west entrance to the Concord State Capitol. Perkins gain distinction for his Civil War commands during...
General John Stark (1728 - 1822)
atufft Says: New Hamphire has probably contributed more than its share of able bodied heros, and so General John Stark, is really but one of them, and one of two memorialized by statue on the Concord State Capitol grounds. Stark was a Lieutenant and later Captain under Maj Robert Rodgers...
Free Soil and Early Abolitionist John P. Hale
atufft Says: John P. Hale (1806-1873) and Daniel Webster both served in the senate during the critical pre-Civil War period, and was also a strong political enemy of the "doughface" Franklin Pierce. Hale lost the presidential election to Pierce in 1852. Hale ran for president as a "Free...
atufft Says: In contrast to Franklin Pierce, New Hampshire native Senator Daniel Webster is commemorated in a large statue right in the center of the Concord state house grounds--and for good reason. Webster was a very powerful and long serving 19th century senator who tried three times...
Dabs Says: Foodee's was recommended in my guidebook as a good place to stop for lunch for creative pizzas. They have an all you can eat buffet at lunch and dinner, Tuesday-Friday, which includes several different kinds of pizza, garden or caesar salad and unlimited refills on...
Red Apple Buffet: Buffet with Variety
Aaron7 Says: This was a decent Japanese restaurant with good sushi. Now, they've switched their main theme to a buffet which features something for everyone. They have Japanese, Chinese, American and Italian food. The buffet seems to be mainly focused toward Chinese food, but there are...
Dabs Says: Since 1920, New Hampshire has held it's Presidential primary election before any other state although many other states seem to be trying to challenge that distinction for the next election in 2008 by moving theirs earlier and earlier. But it's part of New Hampshire's state...
frankcanfly Says: Just a little sign from outside the capitol building.
Early Memorial of Those Slain by Indians
atufft Says: In August of 1746, which is very early in the colonial settlement of New Hampshire, Samuel and Jonathan Bradley, and three others, were massacred by Native Americans at a spot that is marked by a sandstone monument. The monument is noteworthy for its early erection by the...
Hiking at Monadnock State Park...
marca Says: Hiking at Monadnock State Park at Jaffrey. They have a loop trail to the summit(great views!!) that a family with 12-14 year old girls can hike without getting to winded.
atufft Says: Anyone driving north into New Hampshire will see the road shared with many who love to kayak or cycle. The roads around Concord are very friendly for road cyclists as the pavement is in generally excellent smooth condition, the cars few in number, and the air clean. The city...
marca Says: Christa McAuliffe Museum - Museum and Planetarium dedicated to the first civilian woman astronaut. Both times I was in Concord I was lucky to arrive for the annual street fair/sidewalk sale. They block off the main downtown street to cars and the street is filled with local...
