Welcome to New Hampshire.  If there is anything other than palm trees missing here, for families, couples, skiers, surfers, hikers, beach-combers, deep-sea fishermen, theater-goers, whale-watchers, history lovers, or adventurers young or old, honestly, we can’t think of a single thing.  Come visit New Hampshire and see for yourself.

 At left, Robert Watson, VisitNewHampshire.com’s virtual host and visitor information specialist, stands in front of the quaint post in the island town of New Castle, just steps from Fort William and Mary where the first hostilities of the American Revolutionary War began in December, 1774, after Paul Revere rode from Boston to nearby Portsmouth to warn the local patriots of British Plans to reinforce the fort.  

New Hampshire is as much about quaint, small towns like New Castle as it is about grand, historic hotels and resorts nestled in New Hampshire’s majestic White Mountains.
