Most New Hampshire towns would be
considered antiquated and interesting, but not altogether large.
The same could be said about Concord, the state capital.
The capital building itself is an intriguing specimen. It is one
of the nation’s longest standing, constructed soundly from
marble and granite in 1819. Main Street and several bordering
outlets are adorned with well-preserved buildings from around
the same time period, when Concord was an important political
hub for a young America.
Also available for view in Concord is the Christa McAuliffe Planetarium,
named for a local schoolteacher who passed away during the Challenger
Space Mission. This structure houses information for the young
and old on the wonder and importance of space travel.
So Concord contains glimpses of the past as well as the future. |
