Walk down Main St. in Concord, and it’s like Mayberry RFD with a state capitol building.

With no skyline, a crime rate that is more like that of a mid-sized town and commuting traffic that pales in comparison to most state capitals, Concord seems so small town (it’s , of course, technically a city). The population is just over 42,000.

The civility and cleanliness of the city is clearly apparent..  It’s amazing but true that our last time there, drivers on both sides of the road in the heart of the downtown stopped their cars to let us cross the street. Imagine that! The virtually spotless brick sidewalks and well-maintained brick buildings, the handsome clock tower, a modest restaurant scene, people saying “hello” to you, and the head-on parking suggest a small-town with lots of pride. The real eye-catcher is the New Hampshire State House, designed in 1814 in a Greek Revival style. The building features a huge shining golden dome, bull’s eye window and golden eagle. The legislature still meets in its original chambers. But that’s the New Hampshire way — holding onto tradition while still being well established in our 21 century lifestyle. We think a stroll down Main St. in Concord will show you the best of both of these worlds. Book a room in Concord NH at the lowest available rate
