Mount Washington, NH
The stunning vistas surrounding this remarkable location are truly boundless! The Mount Washington Hotel, built between 1900 and 1902 at a cost of $1.7 million (around $64 million today), was commissioned by Joseph Stickney, a Concord, New Hampshire native who amassed his wealth as a coal broker in Pennsylvania before turning 30. In 1986, it was designated a National Historic Landmark. What an incredible experience it would be to stay there—now the big question is, "What’s the price?"

Berlin, NH
As you walk across the pedestrian bridge, feel the bridge sway each step you take. Pausing in the middle, take in the clear water moving below your feet. And that sound is magic! This are only a small number of these surviving 19th-century suspension bridges in the United States!
Brookline, NH
As you step onto a covered bridge in New Hampshire, the timber creaks softly beneath your feet, echoing the whispers of time. Sunlight filters through the slats, casting gentle patterns on the path ahead, while the breeze weaves its way through the trees, creating a symphony of rustling leaves. You lean against the rail, looking down at the water’s dance, feeling as if you stumble upon a secret world where nature holds sway uninterrupted. Time suspends itself within the embrace of the bridge. As you continue across, each step feels like a tribute to the harmony of nature—a shared experience that lingers in your heart long after you leave the old structure behind.
Cornish, NH
The Cornish-Windsor Bridge is considered one of the longest wooden-covered bridges in the United States! It stretches across the Connecticut River, connecting New Hampshire and Vermont together, with a span of 449 feet. A sight to see!
Another wooden-covered bridge in the area is the Blacksmith Shop Bridge built in 1882. It is absolutely not travel worthy and easy to miss as it is located off the main roads. In town, a small shed is beautifully built recognizing the wooden covered bridges in the area.
