Hey! I'm a freelance writer and guidebook author. I've authored "New Hampshire's 52 With A View - A Hiker's Guide", serve as editor of Appalachian Mountain Club's "Southern New Hampshire Trail Guide", and and am co-editor of the "White Mountain Guide", also for AMC. I'm currently beginning work on the 6th Edition of AMC's Southern New Hampshire Trail Guide, which will be published in 2025. I live in southern New Hampshire and can usually be found wandering throughout the state's mountains and forests.
It can be said that folks from New Hampshire are an unusual bunch. If you’re from one of our neighboring states, you may feel very strongly about this! In keeping with hearty New England tradition, New Hampshirites do things their own way. Some of those things may seem weird if you aren’t from here, but here are a few that will be very familiar (or, if you’re like me, have learned about after moving here) to New Hampshire locals.
Yeah, but that's only what the tourists call it. For the locals, this popular destination on the shore of Lake Winnipesaukee will always be known as "The Weirs."
A familiar site on the state's highways is trying to get anywhere on a weekend when the roads are crowded with out-of-staters. Especially those from Massachusetts.
Many of us remember this amusement park in Salem from our childhoods. More than a century after it opened, it's still going strong for future generations.
