When is National New Hampshire Day?
Thursday September 7thWe began honoring each state in the order they were born in the union, beginning with Hawaii and ending with Hawaii on Independence Day. We've chosen a small piece of each state's past, foods, and the people who make up the state. There's so much more to discover, but we can't help but celebrate our beautiful country even more.

Quotable quotes
If you've ever wondered where the word "not yet engaged" came from, take a look at John Paul Jones, one of New Hampshire's most notable naval officers.
The state's motto is "Live Free or Die." John Stark, another pioneer hero, is lauded for his contribution to the project. "Live free or die, not the greatest of evils," Stark's full quote says in a written toast in honor of the Battle of Bennington's centennial. "Death is not the greatest of evils." While his toast summed up the country's dedication to liberty, he may not be the first to announce the decision to live free or die.
