Important fact about New Hampshire
It's the one on the right

Vermont, fittingly, is on the Left

Also the dwarf Wedge mussel is on the state endangered species list






The first potato planted in the United States was at Londonderry Common Field in 1719.

In 1833 the first free public library in the United States was established in Peterborough.

Levi Hutchins of Concord invented the first alarm clock in 1787

Alexandria was the birthplace of Luther C. Ladd, the first enlisted soldier to lose his life in the Civil War.

The karner blue butterfly, lynx, bald eagle, short nose sturgeon, Sunapee trout, Atlantic salmon and dwarf wedge mussel are on the State's endangered species list.

And Peterborough, NH is the setting for Thornton
Wilder's fictional "Our Town", while just to the
left, in Dublin, NH, Yankee magazine is
published (and the Old Farmer's Almanac,
I think).

And, of course, Manchester, NH is the home of the
infamous Manchester Union Liar, err, Leader.

4. Anything south of Concord is either North Massachusetts or East Vermont.
NH hasn't been the same since they finished the middle of the Kancamagus Highway.
