Choosing just one New England state to visit is an unenviable task, but if you must, New Hampshire is a solid bet. Not only will you find a smattering of all that is New England here, you'll also discover one-of-a-kind attractions, such as the Mt. Washington Cog Railway, that are completely unique to this realm. With “Live Free or Die” as its motto, you can almost guarantee that fiercely independent New Hampshire will dish up a few surprises all its own.
