NH's State House - with the oldest continuously used legislative chambers! Opened in June 1819! Home of the General Court of NH!
Full of nooks and crannies, this very old building exudes Yankee thrift and durability. Set amid the town, and not walled off from the flow of life, the capitol building screams New Hampshire. Live free or die!

A Welcome Wave. Arms flung wide. Pollyanna of Littleton - New Hampshire's most welcoming attraction is the centerpiece of historic downtown as an ambassador of cheer and community spirit for residents and visitors alike. Littleton's jubilant bronze sculpture tributes hometown author, Eleanor H. Porter (1868 – 1920) best remembered as the creator of the world's most optimistic character, Pollyanna, 1913. Eleanor Hodgman Porter’s early residence was in Littleton, and not so far from the Library front lawn…where fittingly Pollyanna, Littleton’s sculpture presides in an artistic and symbolic place “welcoming residents and visitors.” POLLYANNA is welcoming...the open-air Fine Art Sculpture in her energetic pose, popular with photographers, is cheerful and inviting for families, groups and individuals. One's own welcoming Wave and full smile, chin-up -- matching Pollyanna -- makes a great "selfie'.
The theme of Pollyanna has been carried throughout Littleton...it's a spirit that unites the entire town and trickles down to the folks that visit there...you will leave with a smile on your face!

Statue honoring the historic statesman is located outside the State Capitol.
Daniel Webster is often forgotten, but really has some great quotes, a very wise man. While some of tried to make him for slavery, nothing could be further from the truth. He supported John Quincy Adams who did more for the abolitionists than any man up to Lincoln. The state house is also the oldest state house in US a beautiful sit.

We were staying in the area to visit the ice castles and despite it being ski season, there isn't a lot open for non-skiers to do. I had read about the Betty & Barney Hill Mural tribute to their first reported alien abduction in 1961 on the app Roadside America (which gives you offbeat & odd roadside attractions where you are), so we went looking for it. We got a kick out of seeing the mural and reading all the old newspaper articles that are in the the gas station! You can also commemorate your visit with the purchase of an alien tee shirt. While we did enjoy the trip due to the lack of things open in the winter season, I suspect the busy summer/fall season there would be much more worthwhile things to do, so I wouldn't recommend making a special trip during those seasons. But if you are looking for something, it's definitely odd!!
