Granite State Called Safest in Nation Third Year in a Row….New Hampshire has been named the safest state in the nation for the third year in a row. In a recently released report, Washington based CQ Press announced its national crime rankings. They said that Gov. John Lynch has worked with the attorney general, police chiefs and lawmakers to better protect children by passing a tough sexual predator law, increasing the state police and the number of state prosecutors. Lynch says, “the state’s distinction as the safest is a part of what makes it a great place to live and work and would not be possible without the hard work and dedication of the men and women of New Hampshire law enforcement.”
‘Most Livable’ for the Sixth Time….Also named by CQ Press, New Hampshire is the “Most Livable” out of the 50 states for the sixth year in a row! The rankings are based on a list of 44 factors, including median household income, crime rates, business tax climate, employment, health, environment and education. The 2008 Most Livable State award is based on the same 44 factors used to determine last year’s award; factors the editors believe reflect a state’s basic quality of life. It takes into account a broad range of economic, educational, health-oriented, public safety, and environmental statistics to determine a state’s “Livability Rating.” Each state’s ranking for the 44 categories were averaged to yield its final score. Data used was for the most recent year in which comparable numbers are available from most states. All factors are given equal weight, and states with no data available for a given category are ranked based only on their other remaining factors. CQ Press issues six rankings annually, including Healthiest State, Safest State, Safest City/Metro Area, Smartest State and Most Improved State.
NH #1 in Child Health Nationally… (Associated Press) New Hampshire again ranks #1 nationally in an annual survey on children’s well-being. The Annie E. Casey Foundation released its report on how the 50 states fared in 10 categories of children’s health. In composite rankings for all indicators, New Hampshire ranked highest, as it has in eight of the last nine years. This year, it was followed by Minnesota and Vermont. Mississippi ranked last. “That’s an incredible record, and it says a lot about how well kids fare in this state,” said Ellen Fineberg, president of the Children’s Alliance of New Hampshire, a nonprofit group that does research on children in the state.

Powered by the mighty Androscoggin River, the paper industry flourished for well over a century. This gave rise to a remarkable city built by immigrants who came to work here from all over the world, creating a rich legacy of diversity, architecture and history. Natives do not pronounce the name of their city in the same way as the German city - it is pronounced 'Burrrrr-lin."
Today, the paper industry is a part of history, but lives on at the Northern Forest Heritage Park and the Brown House Museum. The Northern Forest Heritage Park is a 3-acre site along the Androscoggin River, where a full- size replica of a logging camp has been developed. An amphitheater alongside the river is where a number of programs and events take place in the summer. Many of those events pay tribute to the cultural heritage.
Downtown Berlin has some wonderful old architecture - Classical Revival can be seen at the Holiday Center (27 Green Square); Colonial Revival in the Berlin City Bank (9 Main St.) and City Hall, an example of Georgian Revival architecture.
Visit our Main Street Shops where you will find outstanding customer service and little bit of everything: http://www.shopinberlin.com.
Just a few miles northwest of downtown Berlin you will find one of the newest additions to the state park system. Jericho Mountain State Park provides opportunities for miles of trail riding for ATV, UTV, trail bike, and snowmobile enthusiasts alike. Please click on the link below.

In the winter, snowmobilers fan out on local trails that connect with corridors that can take them to points in Canada and Maine. The city's amenities are also accessible in the winter via a snowmobile trail that accesses the downtown restaurants & grocery stores. Dummer

With a population of about 345 people, Dummer may be one of the smallest towns in northern New Hampshire, but it has huge outdoor opportunities, from wildlife watching to canoeing and whitewater rafting. One of the popular destinations in Dummer is the Pontook Reservoir, an impoundment of the Androscoggin River, where bald eagles, loons and osprey can be seen. If you are very lucky, there may be a moose swimming across the water.
The Great Northern Moose Lodge, on Route 16 at the foot of 13-Mile Woods, is a great base to head out for nearby adventures or to just relax and answer the question posed by folks at the lodge: "Have you ever really heard silence?"

In the far northeastern corner of New Hampshire, Errol is an outpost for sportsmen and outdoor enthusiasts.
About seven miles east of the village is Lake Umbagog, a clear and pristine lake straddling the Maine border. Its home to all sorts of wildlife - moose, osprey, bald eagles and loons - and because it is largely undeveloped and forever preserved, it offers a true back-to- nature experience.
Umbagog Lake State Park, on the New Hampshire side, offers 35 campsites with some amenities and another 34 remote sites accessible only by boat. A boat launch and canoe rentals are available.
Visitors can get outfitted for their adventures, from fishing to snowmobiling to camping, right in town, at L.L. Cote Outdoor Sports, at the junction of Routes 16 and 26.
Whether you are just passing through or it's your journey's end, pay a visit to the store and see the white moose on display.

Surrounded by the tall peaks of the Presidential Range, Gorham has long been a mecca for hikers and adventurers who come to explore the region. With its location halfway between Montreal and the Atlantic Ocean, Gorham was hub for railroad travelers. Today, the
Page - 6 - of 21
historical society, located in the original 1907 depot off the common, pays tribute to that part of the town's heritage.
There are several accommodations along Main Street and Gorham is a good launching-off headquarters for visitors looking to take in the Mount Washington Auto Road and skiing at Wildcat.
The downtown is an eclectic mix of businesses and restaurants - Saladino's Italian Market and Restaurant, and Libby's Bistro are very popular. The White Mountain Café & Bookstore is also a popular downtown destination.
A short drive from Gorham - in Pinkham Notch - is the base camp of the Appalachian Mountain Club, from where most hikers depart for climbs up Mount Washington and other peaks in the Presidential Range. The toll road to the top of Mount Washington is also located about 8 miles south of town. Drivers can go up the Auto Road on their own or take the stages that leave at regular intervals. At the summit is the Mount Washington State Park and the Mount Washington Observatory, where in 1934, the 2nd highest wind ever recorded on earth blew at 231 mph.
The summit is a lively place, where visitors, researchers and hikers are apt to co-mingle. At the base of Mount Washington, next to the Auto Road, is Great Glen Trails, where people can cross country ski on miles of groomed trails. You can also run and bike the trails, arrange kayaking trips and use the climbing wall. In the winter, a snow coach takes skiers part-way up the Auto Road and then they can ski down. Nightly moose tours around the area are also a popular draw, happening from June to October, leaving from the town common. Jefferson

On its east-west meander through northern New Hampshire, U.S. Route 2 runs through several small towns like Jefferson, which offers stunning mountain scenery that has remained little changed from the grand hotel days.
Orator and minister Thomas Starr King, known for his influence in California politics during the Civil War, was a frequent visitor to Jefferson and wrote The White Hills: Their Legends, Landscapes and Poetry in 1859. The publication brought attention to the small town of Jefferson. Starr King thought the views in town were the best anywhere in the White Mountains and thought the town could become a popular resort destination, if only it had a grand hotel.
Page - 7 - of 21
In 1860, he persuaded someone to do just that, which led to the construction of the Waumbek Hotel, one of the five largest grand hotels of the day, until it was destroyed by fire in 1928. He has a mountain named after him in Jefferson, Mount Starr King. Mount Starr King in Yosemite National Park is also named after him.
Surviving the town's grand hotel era is New Hampshire's oldest 18-hole golf course, the Waumbek, built in 1895. Today, Jefferson is best known to visitors, particularly those with children, as the home to Santa's Village at one end of town and Six Gun City on the other end - both are located on Route 2. Both attractions have passed the half-century mark and are still run by the founding families and their children. For many visitors to the area, the attractions are a summer tradition.
For those who enjoy architectural history, Jefferson has some lovely examples dating back to the grand hotel era, when a number of grand cottages were built by the Waumbek Hotel for the very affluent families that desired more privacy than they could get at the hotel. In all, 11 "cottages" were built. Today, only six of what are known as the Waumbek Cottages remain, located on Cottage Road and Starr King Road, off Route 2. They were placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006. All are privately owned but give the town an elegant and stately feeling.
For outdoor enthusiasts, the Presidential Rail Trail, along a former railroad bed, goes from Jefferson 18 miles west to Gorham. The trail parallels Route 2, offers great mountain views and is suitable for walking, off-road biking and snowmobiling.
Part of the 5,500-acres Pondicherry Wildlife Refuge is also located in Jefferson.

When you get to this pretty farming community on the banks of the Androscoggin River, pronounce it the way the locals do: My-lin; not the way you pronounce that city in Italy.
The town has a pretty little village and not far from there is Milan Hill State Park, a popular area for hiking, cross country skiing in the winter, picnics and seasonal camping.
A fire tower is also on the property and a short climb up to the top has a wonderful panoramic view of mountains in New Hampshire, Maine and Vermont. Just south of the village, on the Milan-Berlin Page - 8 - of 21
town line is the massive Nansen Ski Jump that dramatically rises above the treetops. It was built in 1936 and in the day, was one of the largest in the country. It has a 170-foot steep frame and a 171-foot tower, 225-foot vertical drop and a descent angle of 37.5 degrees. Today, the Nansen Ski Club has its headquarters at the state park and provides a network of cross country ski trails. Snowmobiling is also a popular winter activity in town.
The famed 13-Mile Woods, which follows the Androscoggin River along Route 16 to Errol is a beautiful and peaceful ride. The area offers views of kayaks and canoes paddling downstream; bankside fishermen casting into the water and (depending on the time of day) is where to go to see moose and other wildlife. Each August, Milan Old Home Day is celebrated in a daylong event, featuring, among its activities, a women's skillet toss.

Randolph has long been a summer retreat nestled along U.S. Route 2. Its rich history can be seen in some of the handsome cottages built here, shadowed by some of the tallest peaks in the Presidential Range. It is also known for the Randolph Mountain Club, founded in 1910 to promote hiking and trail development. A 100- mile network of trails maintained by the club reach up the northern slopes of the Presidential Mountain Range, as well as four shelters - Grey Knob, Crag Camp, the Log Cabin and the Perch.

Just a short drive east of Gorham is Shelburne, on the Maine border. Like it is elsewhere in northern New Hampshire, hospitality is a foundation in Shelburne. The Philbrook Farm Inn has been welcoming guests since 1861 and the fifth generation of Philbrooks now runs this gracious, lovely inn. Just over the Gorham/Shelburne line is the Town & Country Motor Inn, another institution that has been run by the same family for half a century. A stretch of Route 2 in town is lined with birch trees that were planted decades ago as a unique memorial. Known as the Shelburne Birches, they are a tribute to the local war veterans.
Shelburne also has a couple of curious wonders - the stone fish, one of several creatures built by a wealthy estate owner in the early 1900s and the Old Man of the Valley, resembling the late great Old Man of the Mountain, which crumbled in 2003, is also an attraction. Recreation-Events
In the Androscoggin Valley, your work day doesn't have to begin and end with a commute.

Our region is meeting the 21st century with exciting and dynamic changes. If you can live, work and play in our world, become a part of it.
