The Seven Modern Wonders of New Hampshire
One thing's for sure: our world is filled with some jaw-dropping and straight-up beautiful places.
According to Britannica, it was way back in the 2nd century BCE when the 'Seven Wonders of the World' were first referenced. The term was meant to coin "architectural and sculptural achievements of the ancient Mediterranean and Middle East."
At that time, the Seven Wonders was composed of the Pyramids of Giza, Hanging Gardens of Babylon, Statue of Zeus at Olympia (anyone else a sucker for Greek mythology?), Temple of Artemis at Ephesus, Mausoleum of Halicarnassus, Colossus of Rhodes, and Pharos of Alexandria.
But of course, that was thousands of years ago. A lot of time has passed since then.
These days, Britannica says that the modern Seven Wonders are the Great Wall of China, Chichén Itzá, Petra, Machu Picchu, Christ the Redeemer, Colosseum, and Taj Mahal.
There's no question about the importance and monumentalism of these iconic locations. But what if we narrowed down the scope of things and zeroed in on the Seven Modern Wonders of particular states?
How about New Hampshire? What do you think the 'Seven Modern Wonders of New Hampshire' would be?
If you asked anyone about it, you'd get a myriad of different answers. Such a question is undeniably subjective. For such a beautiful state, it's challenging to select just seven contenders. But, we decided to give it a shot.
Without further ado, here are seven spots that we think could be the 'Seven Modern Wonders of New Hampshire.'
