What are some weird things about living in New Hampshire?
Being in the Northeast, we New Hampshire folk have a thick skin when it comes to winter weather and frigid conditions that would send some running for the hills... and heat! For instance, if the weather is above freezing, you'll likely find us outside, in short sleeves, as if it were a sunny summer day. (The windows in our homes might be open, too, despite the fact that there's a roaring fire blazing in the fireplace!) In a similar fashion, iced coffee is our drink of choice, and we guzzle it year-round! Because if we actually waited for hot temps and warm weather, we might be waiting indefinitely. So don't be surprised if you see us out chatting on our driveways on the next snow day, donning flip-flops and shorts with an iced cuppa in hand.

Here are a few of our favorite unique New Hampshire museums, and we recommend visiting them all! One of our favorites is Clark's Florence Murray Museum over in Lincoln.
