Merrimack Valley Region

This itinerary will start in the southern New Hampshire city of Nashua, travel north to Manchester, and return south, ending in Salem.

From Nashua, travel north via the Everett Turnpike to Merrimack for a tour of the Anheuser-Busch Brewery and Clydesdale Hamlet (1 1/2-2 hours). Continue north to Manchester, the state's largest city to visit the Currier Museum of Art, one of New England's finest collections of paintings and sculptures, and the Zimmerman House, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright (1 1/2 hours). Lunch in Manchester.

If you were to continue your tour north, highlights could include the Museum of New Hampshire History - NH Historical Society, State House tour, and Christa McAuliffe Planetarium in Concord, and the Canterbury Shaker Village.

After lunch, travel south on I-93 to Derry for a guided tour of the Robert Frost Farm (1 hour). Frost wrote some of his best loved poems while living here from 1900-1909. For the final leg of your tour, options include a stop at America's Stonehenge, one of the largest and possibly the oldest megalithic site in North America, located in North Salem (1 1/2 hours); a visit to fun-filled Canobie Lake Amusement Park; an afternoon or evening at the races at Rockingham Park; or shopping at the Mall at Rockingham Park, New Hampshire's largest indoor mall.
