New Hampshire Through Many Eyes
Discover New Hampshire in the exhibition New Hampshire History Through Many Eyes. This overview exhibition of New Hampshire's past includes hundreds of objects ranging from the earliest Native American dugout canoe in New England, to a Concord Coach, an early prototype of the Segway, and the "Mystery Stone"-- one of the museum's most popular artifacts. And, you can climb a re-created fire tower -- right inside the museum.
