About location

The White Mountains define the setting of Franconia — wooded ridges and broad, settled valley land give this New Hampshire town a distinctly northern New England character. Franconia lies just north of Franconia Notch, the mountain pass between the Franconia Range and Kinsman Ridge, and close to Cannon Mountain. The surrounding region is threaded with routes into White Mountain National Forest, while the town itself retains open roadsides, farms and small-scale development. Cannon Mountain once carried the Old Man of the Mountain, a celebrated granite rock formation that collapsed in 2003 after serving for decades as a symbol of New Hampshire. Franconia is both a practical base for the Notch and a community shaped by mountain terrain.

City Franconia

Franconia sits beside the Gale River in northern New Hampshire, United States, where the western White Mountains rise sharply above a small village centre. East of town, Franconia Notch State Park follows the mountain pass between the Franconia Range and Kinsman Ridge, with Cannon Mountain among its best-known summits. The granite profile called the Old Man of the Mountain, long a state emblem, stood in the notch until its collapse in 2003. Literature has a local address too: Robert Frost lived at the farmhouse now preserved as The Frost Place from 1915 to 1920.

New Hampshire
Region New Hampshire

New Hampshire occupies a mountainous inland position in the northeastern United States. The White Mountains define much of its northern character, culminating at Mount Washington, whose summit is famed for severe and rapidly changing weather. Southward, the Merrimack River links former mill cities including Manchester and Nashua, while Lake Winnipesaukee anchors the Lakes Region with wooded shores and island-dotted water. The state’s compact scale brings ski country, forest roads, historic seaports and New England town centres within reach of one another. Granite quarrying helped give New Hampshire its familiar nickname, the Granite State. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across New Hampshire.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
