Columbia's Historic Covered Bridge, New Hampshire The New Hampshire StoppingPoints guide displays and pinpoints nearly 900 markers within the state, including buildings and structures listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Most markers are grouped and mapped by city, county, and also individually, allowing history researchers, genealogists, and hobbyists to easily locate them when visiting "The Granite State". The simple map pages allow for browsing the NH markers in major cities such as Concord and Manchester - viewing the landmarks dynamically pinpointed. History tourists will find it easy to locate historical sites near their quaint bed and breakfast inns or along their travel routes through the beautiful New England countryside. Bill Lawson, Editor-in-Chief for StoppingPoints.com, stated "We believe our New Hampshire historical site guide is one of the most comprehensive ones of the state anywhere, and will be very useful to those interested in visiting the state as well as the residents who are interested in local history." "New Hampshire's landmarks highlight some of the most interesting sites from the early history of America. The mixture of colonial history, Revolutionary War sites, mills from early in the Industrial Revolution, and picturesque old covered bridges all combine to give New Hampshire a unique profile." The new section allows users to navigate by New Hampshire counties and cities in order to view the maps pinpointing historical markers in each area. The historical sites are pinpointed throughout the state by dozens of small, bluish "NH" marker icons, such as for the page for Concord. Some of the most fascinating markers include the recent one commemorating the first UFO abduction (the "Betty & Barney Hill Incident", in Grafton County), places frequented by Mary Baker Eddy early in her life, and markers celebrating famous people such as Robert Frost, Horace Greeley and Daniel Webster. The Merrimack County page presents an interesting swath of historical and cultural sites in New Hampshire such as the Canterbury Shaker Village, the Contoocook Railroad Depot, the Dalton Covered Bridge, the Endicott Hotel, the Molly Stark House, and more: http://www.stoppingpoints.com/ Some specialized sections include topic-specific indices such as all landmarks associated with the time of the Revolution, and mapped listings of all historic covered bridges. "These features are very important to our users," said Lawson. "We're leveraging our technical know-how to facilitate both casual visitors and professional researchers in rapidly locating the information they're seeking, with minimum frustration. We try to make complex information intuitive to access and use." StoppingPoints will continue to enhance and expand on New England history data and innovative site features. Upcoming features will likely include tools for users to add comments and data to the site, and features allowing individuals to record cemetery gravestone information (in support of genealogical research). # # # StoppingPoints.com is an innovative company providing local travel guide info, points of interest & guides to local historical markers throughout the US.
