CONCORD, New Hampshire TOUR 4k Drone Video
Welcome to New Hampshire's colorful capital city! This burgeoning town of more than 43,000 Concordians was home to the 14th President, Franklin Pierce, whose house you can tour while visiting (it's the Pierce Manse in this video). While here, check out the other sites in this video, including the State House, Legislative Office Building, State Library, Department of Justice, McAuliffe-Shepard Discovery Center, NH Technological Institute, NH Historical Society, and the awesome array of shops in the city's commercial center.
More than one thousand years ago, a strong Native American people called Penacook inhabited present day Concord. In 1726, the English colonized the area, calling the town Rumford. The city earned its new name in 1765 after a bitter land dispute between the towns Rumford and Bow struck a concord. Concord was named capitol of New Hampshire in 1807, after Sam Blodget opened a canal there to allow logging boats from the Amoskeag Falls area to reach the Boston docks.
This town revolutionized America by contributing the Concord Stagecoach, which was the #1 way people traveled west during the American Manifest Destiny years. Another contributor to American science is teacher and astronaut, Christa McAuliffe, who died in the space shuttle Challenger disaster January 28, 1986. The city's science museum and planetarium are named after her and Admiral Alan Shepard.

We got back to the permission we were rained out of last week and hit the dirt digging. Some cool history was recovered and a lot more trash was removed. Cleaning it up will take the rest of the season before we can really get into the past. Going to be a challenge but up up for it. We have forever to do it so, slow and low that is the tempo.

is the state capital of New Hampshire, a city of nearly 40,000 and a gateway to New Hampshire's White Mountain and Lakes Regions. The land which Concord now occupies along the banks of the Merrimack River was settled thousands of years ago by Abenaki Native Americans called the Penacook.
The broad sweeps of the river valley, fertile soil for farming, and easy transportation on the Merrimack made the site of Concord equally inviting to English-speaking colonists in the eighteenth century. Settled by immigrants from Massachusetts in 1725, the community grew in prominence during the colonial era. Some of Concord's earliest houses remain today at the north end of Main Street.
In the years following the American Revolution, the city's central location made it a logical choice for the state capital, and in 1808 Concord was named the official seat of state government. Today the 1819 State House is the oldest state capitol in which the legislative branches meet in their original chambers.
Concord's location also made it a hub for inland trade and commerce. One of the city's best-known industries was carriage manufacturing, and here world famous Concord coaches were built throughout the nineteenth century. Many surviving coaches remain on display at the Museum of New Hampshire History.
Furniture making and granite quarrying were also major local industries. The granite for the library of Congress in Washington, D.C. came from nearby Rattlesnake Hill, which to this day remains a major granite quarry. Because of Concord's central location, it became the northern hub of the railroad industry. For more than a century, scores of trains, headed in every direction, passed through the city daily.
Concord was also the home of the nation's fourteenth President, Franklin Pierce, and the Pierce Manse at the north end of Main Street is open to the public. A few miles northeast of Concord in Canterbury, members of an unusual and fascinating religious order settled in the 1790s. Today Canterbury Shaker Village is the premier museum of Shaker life. Concord was also the home of teacher-astronaut Christa McAuliffe. She is memorialized at the Christa McAuliffe Planetarium, the nation's most technologically sophisticated planetarium. Other sites of interest include the New Hampshire State House, which dates from 1818; the Eagle Hotel, which hosted several presidents during the 19th century; and the Walker-Woodman House (built ca. 1735), Concord's oldest free-standing house.
Centrally located, the city of Concord offers easy access to the scenic White Mountains, Dartmouth-Lake Sunapee and Lakes Regions, New Hampshire's gorgeous Atlantic Ocean coast, and the cultural and economic hub of Boston, Massachusetts. In addition to being the state capital, Concord is a center for health care in Northern New England and home to several major insurance companies today. Its neighborhoods and main street reflect almost 270 years of history. So please come and enjoy Concord's beautiful capitol, its historic downtown shopping area, parks and neighborhoods, as well as its magnificent setting on the bluffs of the Merrimack River. You'll be glad you came! For other town tours visit . For towns in NH visit . For NH relocation information go to .

STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE 1940s EDUCATIONAL MOVIE THIS LAND OF OURS 48734
New Hampshire is the topic of this film from the short travelogue films by Dudley Productions (:10), part of the company's This Land of Ours series of educational movies. A part of the New England section of the nation, it is full of history such as the old covered bridges (1:00) and towns and cities older than the nation itself (1:03). One of the historical meeting houses is Meeting House Hill (1:07) and this is the birthplace of Daniel Webster (1:11). He was an American politician and orator. Massive slabs of granite are shown and these are used for many buildings and monuments (1:28). The lumber trade plays a vital role in the state’s economy (1:36). A large portion of the nation's supply of wood and paper products come from Berlin near the Merrimack River (2:02). Also on this river, is the state's industrial metropolis, Manchester (2:34). Machinery churn out textiles (2:45) and these products supply much of the state's wealth. The shoe industry is the leading employer as thousands of workers (3:05) combine to create 20% of the nation’s supply. Concord is the capital and of the four largest cities (3:13). The capital building itself appears at (3:25). The single port is at Portsmouth (3:32) which rests at the mouth of the river Piscataqua. Much fishing is conducted here and the annual catch yeilds more than the state's requirements (3:41). Over 250 public and private education institutions contribute to the education facilities for the youth (4:02). The University of New Hampshire is in Durham (4:12). The oldest of the bunch is Dartmouth in Hanover (4:16). Agriculture is prevalent and the Seacoast regoin exhibits fertile valleys from the Connecticut and Merrimack Rivers (4:41). Maple syrup is a proud product of the state and the seasonal taping of the trees is shown (5:13). Tourist trade is a major contributing industry as tens of thousands of acres and state parks provide a variety of recreation (5:44). A sign for the Aerial Tramway (5:54) is shown at Cannon Mountain. This offers tourists picturesque views of White Mountain National Forest (6:09). The Cog railway pulls riders up Mount Washington (6:35) and this is the highest mountain on the northeastern side of the country. In warm and cold weather, the mountains and lakes offer enjoyable recreation (7:07). A brief synopsis will close out the film and from it's booming industries of shoes and maple syrup to many historical landmarks, New Hampshire is certainly a site to see (7:29).
