“ NEW HAMPSHIRE HOLIDAY ” 1960s TOUR OF SALISBURY, PORTSMOUTH, CONCORD, WHITE MOUNTAINS XD52024

[@DavidDillon101]

Jack Douglas had one of TV’s great voices, authoritative yet unpretentious. Thank goodness for KZbin for preserving this perfectly presented gem.

[@robertcassey4014]

The calming voice of Jack Douglas takes me back to watching filmstrips in elementary school back in the 60’s. ❤️

The quality of life here in our state is still great and sometimes a little shocking to outsiders. I explained to a friend of mine yesterday from the DC area that my commute doesn't involve one Interstate or expressway, just two lane state highways that go past forests and mountains and fishing streams and natural springs and farms and farm stands and parks and wonderful little towns where if you go into a store twice they know you. Just master the winters and be prepared for the property tax bill, and you can enjoy a beautiful environment with no sales or income tax and as much liquor and fireworks as you want.

[@sergeantscumbag2116]

its a way of life im praying doesnt go away we really do have it made here in my opinion

[@riabouchinska]

Personally I love New England winters. And yes, I do drive, and I do have to shovel snow sometimes, and I have to carry food and water to the horses outside in freezing cold and snow, etc. Still love New England winters, I’ve lived in NH my whole life and o find it beautiful all year round honestly

[@ghamblet]

I live in what would be considered more “urban” NH (Dover) but besides the Spaulding turnpike there aren’t huge interchanges and highways everywhere.

[@danawalsh9137]

Property taxes in Concord went up 80% this year. Good times.

[@MeeshGuitar]

If only we could snap our fingers and go back to a time like this. Is it just me, or did life genuinely seem better back then? As a lifelong NH resident, this was fun to watch.

[@GelMibson-u2y]

There was a lot more blissful ignorance back then.

[@davidbotta6444]

Careful wanting better times now makes you a racist bigot

[@scottleppard288]

Nicely done. I was born in Portsmouth and raised in Concord and currently live in Loudon, ironically a half mile from Shaker Village as mentioned. Live, Freeze and Die!

[@tihspidtherekciltilc5469]

I laughed way to hard at that as I moved from DC to an island off the coast of North Carolina to Greenland New Hampshire where I've been for ten years. I'm an expert in freezing freely trying not to die. May I rust in pieces.

[@martinpennock9430]

Thanks for the great video. I had the pleasure to live in Manchester and work in Nashua back in the 80s. It was a wonderful experience. God bless you and yours and thanks for all you do!

[@janoginski5557]

Great listening to the Scottish lady talking about the lobsters. God Bless America, I’m coming to live there soon & very much looking forward to the experience, but I’ll be down in the South.

[@aprilbrown53]

She's not Scottish -that's a variant of the down east accent. My grandmother, from Cutler, ME sounded like that , but more cockney.

[@new2000car]

That steam locomotive ride up mt. Washington was the coolest thing ever.

[@markpalmer6760]

Sad that the old man in mountain doesn't exist anymore, it collapsed I believe around 20 years ago

[@lightdark00]

at 19:05

[@laurabeane8862]

There was that Urban Legend called "The Quarter Curse" They minted USA Quarters with a different Landmark on the Reverse. Fifty in all to represent every State. When "The Old Man" was put into Circulation, the legend said that's when it collapsed

[@toddburgess5056]

Yup, I remember it. I have a photograph I took of it sometime in the late 80's.

[@jonnytaylor5822]

I was so excited to see it when I was a kid, sadly my mother doesn't remember it. I wish I had one of those old interstate toll tokens with his face on it.

[@howardmurphy2841]

It's ok he's happy now he finally got his rocks off

[@kennethjohnson9370]

This is a great historical episode of New Hampshire showing the famous people historical colonial building s and how they catch and cook lobster sand the way they live dress in the 60s

[@danam0228]

Much of what was shown and said in this video is still true today. I visit every year

[@grimtea1715]

Best channel on KZbin!!

[@alandotson6388]

I live 30 mins from Portsmouth, and it’s crazy to see how it looks in the 60’s

[@biggestnate3]

This is great.

[@tallboyyyy]

The River House Tea Shop is still in business but now called just the River House. Still on Bow St.

[@luisreyes1963]

An interesting film about one of the most overlooked of the American states, New Hampshire. 🦞

[@sugarplum5824]

I'd love to ride the train to the top of Mt. Washington. 🛤

[@HM2SGT]

It is different, and worth the time. Just remember to save your pennies, nickels and dimes because it is pricey! You should also drive the Auto Road to the summit, it’s one of my favorite things to do when I go home.😸👍🫶

[@andybaldman]

Portsmouth is a gentrified mess now, full of rich out-of-staters. It was great 20 years ago.

[@snowfall1221]

facts

[@bigboombetty4499]

Salisbury is in mass

[@dinklehimerschlitz9111]

I'm from New Steakshire.

[@HM2SGT]

11:03 Pemigewasset House coach. It’s about 45 miles from Concord to Plymouth today. I wonder if that was a solid days travel back then or if it was a little longer?

[@Sennmut]

Can't help but wonder what happened to those kids in the video. Merrill.

[@sb9442]

So kool😊

[@toddburgess5056]

The lobster was steamed for 4 hours!!? Yikes! Overdone!

[@festerofest4374]

Yea.... I can't imagine that is right? Overcooked lobster is a sin.

[@Kurtonebay]

The opening credits are missing. I beleave the series name is America.

[@GmailNexus]

Why was the world so beautiful back then, why is it so ugly and superficial today?

[@bjkarana]

Ayuh, as we say to the tourists "Keep New Hampshire Green!" (bring money).

[@luckybestwash]

Did he steal his sign off from Sherm Feller?

[@SaltGrains_Fready]

Awesome Old History now extinct from anywhere else in the world !!

[@rider65]

You must be stupid...🙄

[@stockholm1752]

You can’t get there from here.

[@geoffreyherrick298]

Ayuh!

[@thelostone6981]

New Hampshire: for when you’re a time traveling Castleton snob with a diner roll taped to your chin!

[@StockHeightChevy603]

Legalize medical marijuana!!

[@ricklaporte8052]

Salisbury is in Massachusetts

[@elizabethbroshek4901]

There is a Salisbury in NH too.

[@HM2SGT]

🤣🤦 apparently you weren’t a very good student in geography. since you don’t know how to use a map, I’ve done the mental heavy lifting for you: Actually, there are *_12_* Salisbury‘s in the United States. They can be found in: Connecticut, Illinois, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, New Hampshire, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Vermont & Virginia… and yes, Massachusetts!

[@evognayr]

No one cares about your crappy state.

[@Laakona]

News flash: Salisbury isn't in New Hampshire, it's in Massachusetts.

[@festerofest4374]

Salisbury, New Hampshire. Yes, there is one.

[@HM2SGT]

I suppose a D- in geography is still passing. Technically.
