Granite State of Mind |
| New Hampshire's state motto is "Live Free or Die". The motto comes from a statement written by the Revolutionary General John Stark, hero of the Battle of Bennington. | Robert Frost wrote "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" in 1922, and was published in 1923 in his New Hampshire volume. | The Christa McAuliffe Planetarium in Concord is dedicated to the memory of New Hampshire teacher Christa McAuliffe, who died in the explosion of the space shuttle Challenger. |
