Things to Do
The Capital Region offers you enough things to do and see that you could easily spend a lifetime here. Antiques, skiing, hiking, wildlife, canoeing, art galleries, museums, historic sites, walking tours, farms, orchards, golf, country fairs, community suppers, youth activities and four beautiful seasons are part of the many features that enhance the quality of life in the area. The successful turnaround of a fading Main Street into an active hub of community activities, commerce, politics and entertainment was the result of mutual support by the city, businesses and the community. One of the anchors to New Hampshire's revitalized downtown is a State House crowned by a gleaming gold, eagle-topped dome which can't be missed by motorists passing through on I-93. The major restoration project to house the 1,360-seat Capitol Center for the Arts continues to enjoy tremendous success as a venue for nationally and internationally acclaimed performers as well as local performers. Concord is proud to be home to the largest community music school north of Boston, the Concord Community Music School. Other popular destination points include the Museum of New Hampshire History, Mt. Kearsarge Indian Museum, Pierce Manse, Concord City Auditorium and the Kimball-Jenkins Estate and Art School, Canterbury Shaker Village, and the McAuliffe-Shepard Discover Center, all of which are not mere attractions but learning experiences.
