Get a taste of the local arts scene at the Capitol Center for the Arts. Formerly a prime stop on the Vaudeville circuit, the Capitol Center for the Arts was also a premier movie house and concert hall before it became the theatre it is today. It is the largest and most successful performing arts center in New Hampshire so be sure to catch a show in this cultural destination. For still-art, the Mill Brook Gallery and Sculpture Garden displays works from over 70 different artists both local and national. This outdoor space combines nature and art in perennial gardens, fields, woodlands and ponds. It’s a great place to enjoy a picnic while taking in the gardens and the art strewn across it. As a capital city, it’s no wonder that it is rich in history. The Mary Baker Eddy Historic House is a stately Greek Revival house that reflects the state of the city circa 1850. The city’s history is exemplified more so at the New Hampshire State House, where you’ll see several statues dotted on the capitol grounds. Doric Hall, within the house, features 107 battle flags for the state representing a number of wars. Go from history to science by visiting the McAuliffe-Shepard Discovery Center or the New Hampshire Audobon to learn about our atmosphere and the animals that surround us. After a day filled with educational activities, take a breath of the great outdoors by trekking through the state’s trail system. Pick from over 25 trails and explore open land as you rough it and relax at the same time. A relaxing trip isn’t complete without a bit of history, fine dining, arts and culture and of course, some time spent outdoors. This capital city seems to have it all and when you book with Choice Hotels in Concord, NH, you can do it all. Reserve online now!
