Old: Baker Library New: Berry Library (Added on later.) Highlights -- * Baker Tower: Centrally located on Dartmouth College's campus, the tower offers the best views of Hanover, New Hampshire. * Borrow Direct: Access to the library collections at Brown, Columbia, Cornell, University of Pennsylvania, Princeton & Yale. (Why isn't Harvard included?) * Current Periodicals Room: Over 1,000 current issues of science, social science, humanities, & general interest journals. * Evans Map Room: No excuses for bare walls!! * Jones Media Center: My source of entertainment between partying... I mean, studying. Boasts over 5,000 videotapes and 1,000 DVDs. * Book Arts Workshop: The outlet for my creative juices between partying... I mean, studying. * The Tower Room: Dim lights, dark wood & leather seats - Study in classic New England elegance. (Between partying.) * Novak Cafe: Where to grab a quick bite. (On my way to partying.) I want to give Baker Berry 10 stars, but the blitz terminals aren't sanitized frequently enough (at all??) & operating hours should extend to midnight at least. How many times did I try to return my Animal House & Sports Night DVDs en route to frat row, only to be denied?! ...I mean, where am I supposed to study at 11:30 on a Friday night?? Maybe I need a copy of Heidegger's Kant and the Problem of Metaphysics & maybe I need it at a half past 11!

My friend goes to Dartmouth and gave me a tour of this main building on Campus. I was not expecting the building to be very different inside.

They also have a side room that's in memory of Dr. Seuss, who was an alumni at Dartmouth.

Perhaps it is a view of a time when our people looked at the Presidency with respect. And with the incumbent of the Oval Office viewing his office as a Public service and not as a personal source of enrichment at the expense of our people. No gilded bathrooms, no creepy ballrooms, no disrespect to our nation. Coolidge was perhaps not our greatest president but very much a a part of our history The estate is more a village than a presidential residence, considering the Coolidge family both lived and worked in the hamlet.

The site where New London NH stands today was one of the original Royal Grants that King George II…read moregranted to settlers from Portsmouth and the area was initially called Heidelberg in honor of the monarch's Prussian possessions. However, in 1779, settlers banned together, incorporating several more large parcels and changed the name to New London to honor the British capital city. Throughout the years, the town has been preserved as a gem in New England through the altruism and generosity of many of the founding families as well as a concerted effort of many of its residents. The New London Historical Society was founded in 1954, during the 175th anniversary of the town. In the following two decades, several landowners donated adjoining tracts of land to eventually build the compound that is now an integral part of the society. There are sixteen buildings now in the compound, most of them dating to the initial decades of the founding of the United States and which have been meticulously moved to the historical compound, forming its own historical village. The society has also built a transportation museum with a collection of transport vehicles from early days, including a Concord Coach used extensively in the New England routes. The dedication of the staff and patrons of the Historical Society allowed it to be named by the State of New Hampshire as one of the ten societies forming a state-wide history network. Best time to come is in late Fall, as the New England foliage season lends an additional dose of natural beauty to this jewel of a facility. However, it is always a good side trip from anywhere in town. As well, it is available for special functions and weddings. Charm, history and beauty.

Aside from the magnificent beauty of the entire state, is has the covered bridges, which are so much fun to track down and photograph. I left New England in 1985 and didn't return till 2025 but took myself (and my husband) back to VT, and yes, went covered bridge hunting. What amazed me is that even WITH the added technology of GPS, I still had trouble finding some of the bridges. GPS only works when we have cell service, and many places still do NOT... duh. Anyway, we easily found the Taftsville Bridge, and it did not disappoint. It was one of the larger bridges we rode over, and it definitely was the oldest one that we saw, having been built in 1836.
