Located in Eagle Square in downtown Concord, only a block from the State Capitol building, the Museum of New Hampshire History offers a wide variety of exhibitions that detail the heritage and traditions of the Granite State. The museum, owned and operated by the New Hampshire Historical Society, features an original Concord stagecoach, a hands-on children's museum, and a wide variety of exhibits which tell the story of New Hampshire.

The museum also includes a store which features the state's best selection of New Hampshire's books, products and crafts. The museum is fully accessible. Both guided and self-guided tours are available.
