Quirky Tourist Attractions in or near New Hampshire

While in New Hampshire, you might enjoy a visit to:

A dramatic hilltop hollow where amateur rock hounds hammer away in sunlight for mineral treasures.

Animated miniatures, model railroads, antique outboard motors -- this place has a lot.

The same kind of rocket that hurled New Hampshire native Alan Shepard into space. Brought here in 1971.

It's a rock, and "large" does not do it justice. It's huge. It stands alone in the woods and has its own parking lot.

This four-building complex was opened in 1916, a tribute to New Englander's tendency not to throw anything away. Also here: the last cougar killed in New Hampshire.

One of a string of surviving Storybook and Santa-themed parks across New England. Has a noteworthy array of nightmare-scale statuary.

A mighty Medieval-style war machine, seven stories tall, hurls pumpkins for the thrill of visitors.
