Heritage NH Review

Heritage NH Review

We visited Heritage NH this week during our family vacation in the White Mountains area. Heritage NH, which is located in Glen, NH, and owned by the Morrel family is closing its doors for good after their 30th anniversary this year.

During our recent visit when we entered Heritage NH we were immediately greeted by an 1600s “English woman” who welcomed us into “the port”. We quickly proceeded to buy our boarding tickets ($11 for adults and $5 for children) and after viewing the English village boarded “the ship” when the captain rang the bell. The captian told us the boarding rules and then proceeded to show us the pot that we would use for our essential facility needs. Upon departing to the New World (in New Hampshire), we were able to view each room including a replica of an Indian village with real fish in a simulated river including a waterfall. Each room moved up in years. We learned about colonial times.

In the colonial print shop we learned that it took 1 week to produce a newspaper that cost 1 cent. Each family was able to get a souvenier copy. The fireworks display in the Presidential speech room wasn’t working correctly.

Each member of the family has their favorite room, mom likes the Algonquin Indian village, dad likes the train room and Mt. Cranmore skimobile replica, our kids like the 1800s mill room, the snow scene room (with real ice pole – like at Storyland), and civil war balloon.

Overall, if you have never been, visiting Heritage NH is a must see. Heritage NH has not changed too much in the several years that we have visited. Last year seem to be the most memorable and the most educational because our oldest son did the study guide for his homeschool lesson. If you want the whole experience have your kids try to find all the answers. Overall it will be sad to see Heritage NH shut down. Our family has enjoyed visiting this attraction each year (especially when it is raining). We hope that they incorporate many of the attractions of Heritage NH into the Storyland Park which is located next door.
