Manchester Community College (New Hampshire)

Manchester Community College is a public community college in Manchester, New Hampshire. History New Hampshire's system of post-secondary vocational-technical education developed in response to conditions in New Hampshire following the end of World War II. Recognizing that many soldiers, sailors and airmen, among others, would be demobilized and in need of retraining for civilian life, two State Trade Schools were developed. Since that time, the Community College System of New Hampshire has grown to include four colleges comprising seven institutions. In the early 1980s, the school had a highly visible solar building facing Interstate 293. The building was demolished in 2007 to make way for a new Health Science & Technology building. The New Hampshire legislature passed a law enabling the Board to increase the number of colleges from four to seven, "uncoupling" campuses that had been administratively merged prior to 2005. On January 30, 2008, the name changed from New Hampshire Community Technical College at Manchester to Manchester Community College. Student body The college enrolls about 3,000 students per semester and offers more than 40 degree and certificate programs as well as workshops and professional development programs. Its facilities include the Center for Academic Planning and Support, Library, instructional labs, an auditorium, a cafeteria, and a full-service Early Childhood Education Lab School. Campus Located on 57 acres (23 ha) near the banks of the Merrimack River north of the city center, the Manchester campus offers classes and programs in three major connected buildings, and has ample room for future growth while retaining more than adequate green space and parking.

Manchester School of Technology

The Manchester School of Technology (MST) is a high school located at 100 Gerald Connors Circle, in Manchester, New Hampshire, United States, part of the Manchester School District. In addition to the typical high school courses, Manchester School of Technology offers courses called "Careers in Technology and Engineering" (CTE), which are programs of study that focus on applied applications, rather than the theoretical or abstract. These CTE classes are typically taken in the 10th and 11th grade, though can be taken in the 12th grade as well. The instructors for the CTE programs experienced in the trade they teach, having worked in the field and bring their own job experience to their classes. The classrooms of the CTE programs offer the tools used in the workforce that a student would need to be acquainted with. Until its establishment of the dedicated high school in 2012, the Manchester School of Technology only offered CTE classes to 11th and 12th grade students in addition to their studies at other high schools.

Matthew Thornton House

The Matthew Thornton House is a historic house and National Historic Landmark in Derry, New Hampshire. It was from 1740 to 1779 the home of Matthew Thornton, a Founding Father and signer of the U.S. Declaration of Independence. The main block of the house has a roughly square footprint and has the classic New England saltbox shape. It is five bays wide and two deep, with a steeply-sloping leanto section to the north (rear). In the 19th century Greek Revival trim details were added, including wide pilasters at the corners, and a portico sheltering the front entry. The first-floor windows are topped by decorative cornices. A single-story ell projects from one side of the rear, giving the house an L shape; this wing was built to house more modern kitchen facilities and servants' facilities. The interior plan of the main house is a typical center-hall plan, with four rooms on each floor. The house's chimneys were replaced in the 19th century with smaller ones. The house was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1971, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Matthew Thornton was born in Ireland, probably in 1714, and came to North America with his parents in 1718. He trained as a doctor, opening his practice in Derry in 1740. He entered New Hampshire provincial politics in 1758, serving in the assembly until 1775, when a provisional assembly took over governance. Thornton helped draft a new state constitution, and was elected to the Second Continental Congress in 1776. He served there for one year, signing the Declaration of Independence even though he did not take office until November 1776. In 1780 he moved to Merrimack, where he remained active in state politics. He died in 1803, and is buried in the Signer's Cemetery, near his Merrimack home; the cemetery and Merrimack house are also listed on the National Register.

McIntyre Ski Area

McIntyre Ski Area is a ski area adjacent to Derryfield Park in Manchester, New Hampshire, United States. It opened in 1971 with two chairlifts and a rope tow, and was operated by the city until 2009, when they leased the area and management rights to McIntyre Ski School, Inc. (now McIntyre Ski Area, LLC) for a 25-year period. The area has a ski school, snow tubing, skiing and snowboarding, and a shop, which opened in 1992. According to its website, the ski area has 200 vertical feet (60 vertical meters) of terrain. Like many New England ski areas, it is open outside the ski season to host conferences, weddings and other events. History Manchester began seeking a ski facility as early as 1962, when discussions began with the New Hampshire State Parks. Plans for a facility on the nearby Mt. Uncanoonuc fell through, and the city went forward with a development of its own, opening McIntyre a few years later with three runs, two Hall double chairlifts, a handle tow and a brand new lodge. In 1978 McIntyre Ski School, Inc. was formed, to cater to the beginner skier. The area was named after T. Edward McIntyre, the first superintendent of the Parks & Recreation Department, and the main force behind starting the Manchester Babe Ruth League. Since taking over management, McIntyre Ski School has installed Magic Carpet lifts and snowmaking equipment. A new base lodge was built for the 2010–2011 season. The opening sequence of In Your Eyes (2014) was filmed at McIntyre on 5 March 2012. For the 2014–2015 season McIntyre upgraded their snowmaking system, by upgrading the water lines and purchased an additional snow gun. They also added a secondary motor in each ski lift, making them capable of running at a lower speed when necessary. Energy efficient lighting was also installed in some areas.

Memorial Field (Dartmouth)

Buddy Teevens Stadium at Memorial Field is a football stadium located in Hanover, New Hampshire, United States. It is the home of Dartmouth Big Green football and outdoor track teams. The athletic teams at Dartmouth College compete in the Ivy League. In October 2024, it was dedicated to long-time Dartmouth Football coach Buddy Teevens. History In 1893, Dartmouth alumni built a football field called Alumni Oval in the southeastern part of the campus. The field's original wooden grandstand, which backed up on Crosby Street, burned in 1911. In 1923, the college built Memorial Field, with a brick-faced concrete stand and press box on Crosby Street. The stadium opened as a memorial to the students and alumni who had served and died in World War I. Permanent stands on the east side of the field were built later, and end zone bleachers have also been used. Memorial Field underwent renovation during the summer of 2006, including replacement of the natural grass field with artificial turf to allow nearly year-round use; installation of an 8-lane Tartan track; construction of safety improvements; and the construction of a new varsity athletics center that has reduced the East Stands. With some of the loss made up by stands placed behind the end zones, the current seating capacity is approximately 11,000, down from 22,000 pre-renovation. The stadium is the end-point of a popular Shriners parade every summer, and is often the venue for the New Hampshire vs. Vermont high school all-star football game which follows the parade.

Merrymeeting Lake

Merrymeeting Lake is a 1,233-acre (4.99 km2) water body located in Strafford County in eastern New Hampshire, United States, in the town of New Durham. Its outlet is the Merrymeeting River, flowing south and then northwest to Lake Winnipesaukee. The shores of Merrymeeting Lake are moderately to heavily developed. The lake has a busy recreational character rather than a wilderness character. Only a few small segments of shoreline remain undeveloped. The undeveloped areas are the western side of Sawtooth Cove, because the land is extremely steep there and difficult to build on, and the far eastern shore of the lake which is not easily accessible by road. In the 1980s, most buildings along the lake were simple summer camps. During the 1990s, most of these structures were replaced by higher end summer homes, some worth millions of dollars. The town of New Durham maintains two paved roads, North Shore Road and South Shore Road, which almost encircle the lake, allowing for year-round residence. However, the winter population is small. Most properties on the lake are second homes for affluent families. There is a dam at the west end of the lake, which is used to control the lake's water level. Each year in the fall the water level in the lake is lowered via the dam. Water level is restored to its normal level in the spring by snow melt and rainfall. The Powder Mill Fish Hatchery is located at the base of the dam, and is fed by the overflow of the lake's water. Merrymeeting Lake has common loons which nest on the western shore. Ducks also live on the lake, although feeding them is discouraged by the Merrymeeting Lake Association. The New Hampshire Fish and Game Department stocks the lake for recreational fishing. The lake is classified as a cold- and warmwater fishery, with observed species including rainbow trout, landlocked salmon, lake trout, smallmouth bass, chain pickerel, and horned pout.

Mine Falls Park

Mine Falls Park is a 325-acre (132 ha) park in the city of Nashua, New Hampshire, United States. Located in the heart of the city, it was purchased in 1969 from the Nashua, New Hampshire Foundation with city and federal Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) money. It is bordered on the north by the Nashua River and on the south by the millpond and power canal system. History The park encompasses 325 acres (132 ha) on both sides of the Everett Turnpike. The name "Mine Falls" dates from the 18th century, when low-quality lead was supposedly mined from the islands below the falls. In the early 19th century, the potential of the Nashua River to drive the wheels of industrial mills was recognized after the success of the Merrimack Canal, dug in the 1820s in Lowell, Massachusetts, 10 miles (16 km) downstream from Nashua. The first gates were built in 1826, and the gatehouse near Mine falls was built in 1886. The property was once owned by the Nashua Manufacturing Company, which harnessed the river's flow for power in its mills. The mills closed in 1948 and the owner Textron sold it to the Nashua New Hampshire Foundation. After that, the area was used for various commercial purposes, while the river suffered from severe pollution. A 1973 visit from the Environmental Protection Agency's Program to Photographically Document Subjects of Environmental Concern (DOCUMERICA) led to the creation of the Mine Falls Park master plan in 1974. In 1981, a regulation-sized soccer playing field was added to the park. In 1981, a new footbridge over the Nashua River canal was built at the end of Whipple Street, allowing additional access to the playing field area. The playing area was later expanded to include additional fields for soccer. The trails provide a highway underpass and a bicycle and pedestrian path to cross the Nashua River. In 1987, the Nashua River Canal and the Nashua Manufacturing Company Historic District (the Millyard) were placed on the National Register of Historic Places. In 1992, the park trails were designated part of the New Hampshire Heritage Trail system, which extends 130 miles (210 km) along the Merrimack River from Massachusetts to Canada. In 1986, Mine Falls was commissioned to be the site of a small, city-owned hydroelectric dam with a capacity of three megawatts. City officials had allowed an encampment of the homeless, known as "Maple Island", in the park. An attack on a homeless man in 2009 prompted renewed concern about it, and officials cleared the settlement. Some local homeless made a new camp on nearby private land.

Moffatt-Ladd House

The Moffatt-Ladd House, also known as the William Whipple House, is a historic house museum and National Historic Landmark in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, United States. The 1763 Georgian house was the home of William Whipple (1730–1785), a Founding Father, a signer of the Declaration of Independence and Revolutionary War general. The house is now owned by the National Society of Colonial Dames in New Hampshire, and is open to the public. Among the contents are Whipple's sword and other personal items, along with a portrait of him. Outside is a horse chestnut tree that Whipple planted in 1776 with seeds that he brought back from Philadelphia. The house was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1968. Description The house is an imposing three-story wood-frame structure, set on a rise overlooking the old part of Portsmouth Harbor. It is roughly square, measuring about 42 feet (13 m) on each side, with a hip roof. The exterior is covered in wood clapboards, with wooden quoins at the corners. There are three chimneys, located at the sides of the house. The main facade is five bays wide; its windows on the first two levels are topped by segmented arch pediments, while the third-level windows, which are smaller, butt against the roof cornice in Federal style. The roof topped by a flat widow's walk surrounded by a low balustrade with urn finials. The urn finials also appear on the fence that sets the house off from the street. The property includes a small office building dating to 1810. History The house was built in 1763 by John Moffatt, one of the wealthiest men in colonial New Hampshire, and given to his son Samuel as a wedding present the following year. The elder Moffatt repurchased the house from his son in 1768, and lived there with his daughter Catherine and her husband, William Whipple, until his death in 1785. Whipple's slaves, Prince Whipple and Windsor Moffatt, also lived in the house. The property was entailed by Moffatt to Samuel's descendants, who acquired control of the property after legal disputes in 1818. The house passed the following year to Maria Tufton Haven Ladd, one of Samuel's granddaughters. Maria Ladd's son Alexander Hamilton Ladd occupied the house until his death in 1900, and was responsible for establishing the property's fine gardens. His children donated the house to the National Society of Colonial Dames in New Hampshire in 1911. The house was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1968, and listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
