The Ultimate Road Trip
Discover the American spirit at Strawbery Banke, or what’s now called Portsmouth. Dating back to 1623, this little 10-acre plot where the city began is now a living-history museum. New Hampshire’s also the place to go in the fall for a magical New England road trip. Surround yourself in the vibrant, jaw-dropping autumn leaves’ colors and walk through orchards ready for picking.
Summit the Sights
In the fall, or any time of year, you can drive through the White Mountain National Forest on the Kancamagus Scenic Byway, a 28-mile road from Conway to North Woodstock in the northern part of the state. Mount Washington, rising above the forest, is where tiny New Hampshire stands tallest—it’s the highest peak in the Northeast and the Appalachian Trail crosses the summit.
Cultural Capital
When you’re ready to head back in to civilization, book a hotel in Concord and explore the state capital. Arts, culture, entertainment and history are all around you. Be sure to stop in Manchester’s Currier Museum of Art. It features European and American works by Picasso, Monet, O’Keeffe and Wyeth as well as a Frank-Lloyd Wright-designed home.
