your5best | NEW HAMPSHIRE STATE HOUSE - Concord, NH - Drone Video @freshishealthy | Uploaded November 2019 | Updated October 2024, 21 hours ago.
New Hampshire's government differs from most other states, as their state house houses the New Hampshire General Court, Governor, and Executive Council. This 2.6 acre grounds houses five life-size statues (President Franklin Pierce, Secretary of State Daniel Webster, Commodore George Perkins, Senator John Hale, and General John Stark) and three memorials (NH law enforcement, POW/MIA, and the Liberty Bell).
In 1816, Quakers used this lot for their Grand Meeting House; but sold it to the City of Concord in order to erect this building in 1818. Originally, the building was topped with astatue of a huge gold-painted wooden war eagle looking to the left; but, in 1957, it was replaced with an element-proof peace eagle statue looking to the right. The original eagle is on display in the New Hampshire Historical Society in the building immediately behind the State House.
This beautiful building is available for tour Monday through Friday.
