Sad that all the paper mills and the Old Man are gone. My grandfather worked at the mill in Groveton and I still recall the smell of his clothes when he got home....whew!
Monadnock paper mills is still around in Antrim/Bennington to my knowledge but yeah the old man... Got to see it when I was little before it fell so I guess I'm lucky 😅 was born in 93 so I still remember it. If you want a really cool experience in NH ya just gotta keep an eye out for sneaky trails :P we have waterfalls and other cool ruins that I believe most don't know about
I'm born-and-raised New Hampshire and have recently been getting into researching history and my personal family tree and ancestry. At the time this was filmed, my grandparents in Berlin would have both been 6 years old, and my grandmother's father (a former logger) would have been working at the paper mill, where my father also worked during summers. I remember waking up near the end of a long car ride to visit my grandparents to the very strong smell of the mill as soon as you get close to town. In addition to getting married on the UNH campus at their historic ballroom, being an alum is something I share with many family members including a great grandfather on my mother's side. It's very cool seeing some of these landmarks still standing roughly 80 years later, some barely even changed. Even for a (relatively) young person like me.
I was born in that year. It sure has changed since. I remember it when I was a little boy. I'd love to go back to when I was 10 years old. Those was the best years of my life. Too bad I didn't realize it back then.
There is an abandoned quarry with green granite I'd like to get some stone for a grave stone from. 😂 Looking at the lumberjacks and the lumbering operation and not seeing a lot of ergonomically optimal procedures performed! That two men saw stooped over like that must've been a killer.
I live about 10 mins from the daniel Webster birth place . Unfortunately it hasn't been open to the public in a long time and the big white house that is on site at the D.W. birth place was broken in to and vandalized. I miss the old man on the mountain. I love living in new hampshire and will probably never leave
Lifelong New Englander known and loved NH since the 60's. Bummer no clip of the Loudon Classic. Other places as well. Short film and all I guess. Nice place Northeast.
Saw at least three things that are long gone: textiles, shoes, and the Old Man. I'm sure there were more but, not being a local, they went over my head.
Recently moved to lakes region from New York and I love it here. Bought a house with my girlfriend plan to create a family and hopefully able to invest in more properties!
Can the person that posted this video please respond to this? I have a question of whether you somehow may have footage of the opening ceremonies of this convention. I performed at it as a 7 year old and I would LOVE to see the footage! Thank you
@@tristanw4151 Yes, instead of pronouncing it burr-LYNN it's pronounced more like BURR-ln with more emphasis on the BURR then the ln. Another town in NH that always gets mispronounced that wasn't mentioned in the film is Westmoreland. It's pronounced WEST-mer-LAND.
4:05 Over 2500 public and private schools? The population of New Hampshire was 507,000 in 1947. That would be one school for every 200 people. Out of those 200 people how many were school-age???
They gutta go somewhere and as of now Concord dosnt have the best shelter, lots of stealing and crime. But besides that, we live in such a beautiful state. The city's are turning into liberal holes but get out in the sticks and enjoy our state
The people need to stand up to this and STOP it. If the people would call the police every day and report the tenters, and stand next to the tent until the police arrive and remove them, this won't happen.
The school system is made to uneducated kids also.... Dumb down society makes it easier to control Make some very dependent on government handouts which is why welfare and drug addicts are so rampant now.... They are just giant children looking for a handout.
The narrator is talking about when the state was 1) white 2) conservative and 3) culturally homogeneous. People got along with, and trusted, each other better. That was superior to today, where New Hampshire is multi-cultural, anti-white and a cultural zoo. Politicians pit groups against each other inciting discord. The nuclear family that aspired the best for their children has been replaced by single parent and LGBTQ freak show "blended" families producing neurotic children doped up on Ritalin among other things.
Very nostalgic, and makes me feel sad. Now everything is so commercialized. I would love to see a sarcastic look at today's NH that highlights Massholes tailgating us while littering, and hordes of drugs being snuck in daily
Surprised the narrator pronounced Portsmouth correctly, not surprised he totally butchered Piscataqua River. Not happy he mispronounced Con-Chord. Overall, pretty nifty piece of documentary. I’m surprised because I grew up in Concord in the early 70’s and never once saw this movie in school. Cheers from Ports”myth”
When this was filmed, The Androscoggin river was an open sewer and the Merrimack river ran red from the dyes used in the woolen mills.
AHHhhhhh ..... the Good Old Days.
@@11UncleBooker22 .😂Your comment made me laugh!
The ‘Color of money’ Grandma used to say! 😂😂😂
Make america great again!!!!
That pollution and chemicals just put hair on your chest.
New Hampshire is still a beautiful place. I love it there.

I currently live in New Hampshire in a small town called new Durham near Alton and Farmington. What town did you live in?
Life long New Englander here! I'm only 33 but, this is really cool to see!
God bless New Hampshire

It’s so different seeing old videos vs seeing an old video of a place you know!!
Seeing the front of the capital building was so trippy. I've gone by that area so many times.
I wish I could go back in time to when this was made.
Me too
Agreed
Why, do you want a job making shoes?
You really don't since you can't smell the videos haha
I would have loved to have been a child at this time
I love this . I've lived in concord my whole life and this film was really fun nostalgic look at my state.
Had to laugh at how they pronounced Concord.
I live maybe 30 minutes away from concord. It’s crazy seeing buildings here from so long ago that I recognize.
walking by the capital gonna be hitting different now
Everyone from NH collectively throwing up when he says "concord" 😂 (not to mention piscataqua)
As someone whos lived here all my life, this is so interesting
My home I will always love this place.
New Hampshire is cool. My Italian grandfather bought property on rte 1 in Seabrook and made a nice living. My uncle still runs the Seabrook store.
Thanks for uploading this gem!!
RIP The Old Man.
What a time capsule. Including the mispronunciation of our state's capital, lol.
Seriously
Yes, as Concord resident, wish their narrator learned the proper pronunciation of Concord!
Also Berlin. Emphasis should be on the first syllable.
And what river was that in Portsmouth?
kOn-KoRD
Living in pennacook. Cool to know some history. Love it
I live in New Hampshire and it is beautiful as ever!
Excellent video - thanks!
You are welcome!
6:07 dude just chilling on top of the tram
YO WTF

I'm an Australian and reading a novel set here . In the modern era .
What is the novel called?
@@wintersprite Maple Sundaes By Olivia Gains . Nearly finished it
Saw at least three things that are long gone: textiles, shoes, and the Old Man. I'm sure there were more but, not being a local, they went over my head.
All those people just being happy without a cellphone in site
Unfortunately never had the chance to see this part of our beautiful country.
Love this state, some has changed, but not that much
@Periscope Film Please change the title of this, it is a tour of NH, not a tour of Concord.
Just left Colebrook NH.
Really not much up there, but the locals seem to like it.
Damn my hometown got a shout out I didn't expect that
Born and raised in Concord, now settled in Canterbury. Geeze, want to correct the narrator with pronunciation.
Recently moved to lakes region from New York and I love it here. Bought a house with my girlfriend plan to create a family and hopefully able to invest in more properties!
Have you taken advantage of our relaxed gun laws yet?! you definitely should.
@@thatguy1321 oh I def plan on it!
I would like to purchase this video in CD format for my historical society. How would I go about doing this.
New Hampshire is so beautiful definitely a must go for the trees 😍😌
There's trees everywhere. NH is the freest state in the country.
Wow ! All of about 15 seconds about Concord. Why not call it a tour of New Hampshire?
I grew up in Litchfield.
Same bro!
I wasn't here in NH back in 1947, but these days we pronounce Piscataqua, Berlin and Concord differently than this narrator did.
Can the person that posted this video please respond to this? I have a question of whether you somehow may have footage of the opening ceremonies of this convention. I performed at it as a 7 year old and I would LOVE to see the footage! Thank you
No sorry we do not.
Live free or Die. Words to behold
as much as i hate living in NH, the history behind it makes me slightly proud of being here
This made me laugh - fr, though
was there even a signle second of this recorded in Concord? the title seems very wrong
What struck me was the hive of activity and industry, particularly the elderly gentleman making shoes, and I thought, what a load of old cobblers.
I love my state
Live Free or Die!
I have a copy of this film. I always laugh at the glaring mispronunciation of Concord and Piscataqua. They are pronounced Con-curd and pis-cat-uh-qua.
Plus, from what I've been told, there's no emphasis on the "i" in Berlin
@@tristanw4151 Yes, instead of pronouncing it burr-LYNN it's pronounced more like BURR-ln with more emphasis on the BURR then the ln. Another town in NH that always gets mispronounced that wasn't mentioned in the film is Westmoreland. It's pronounced WEST-mer-LAND.
I’ve always heard “Pis-cot-uh-kwuh”. I live near Keene.
@@tallboyyyy I’ve always heard “more” instead of “mer” for Westmoreland and it’s a neighboring town to me.
@@wintersprite I grew up in Keene so it's neighboring to me also.
I would love to see the MST3K gang riff on this!
That would be funny!
why did media voices all sound like this during this time period?
From my understanding it was because of the way it was recorded and played back.
The paper mill used to be huge until another country bought it out and close it down.
Epping N.H here ..the center of nowhere
Anyone know the reason there was a man standing atop the air tram?
I often joke about the state being famous only for covered bridges and what else is the establishing shot but a covered bridge!
Damn my state was fye back in the day?
My memory of Berlin my memory of Berlin was a smell of paper products being made
The mills in Manchester are all apartments now.
Tons of businesses.... probably more than apartments.
Along the river? Mostly businesses. I work in one & we make signs for a lot of spaces in the vicinity.
About half apartments and half business. I've been working in the old mill yard for 15 years and it has improved significantly in that time.
4:05 Over 2500 public and private schools? The population of New Hampshire was 507,000 in 1947. That would be one school for every 200 people. Out of those 200 people how many were school-age???
♥️ Live Free or Die ♥️
So i have been protecting it for a while i guess
"New Hampshire is a friendly State"....really ???? We all know our real State slogan is "Welcome To New Hampshire.....Now Go Home."
It should be "Welcome to NH, spend all your money and then go home."
"..nature's finest snow."🤔
I live in concord
I live in NH and love it. I'm concerned though about the homeless tent cities springing up.
They gutta go somewhere and as of now Concord dosnt have the best shelter, lots of stealing and crime. But besides that, we live in such a beautiful state. The city's are turning into liberal holes but get out in the sticks and enjoy our state
Thank a Democrat for that.
The people need to stand up to this and STOP it. If the people would call the police every day and report the tenters, and stand next to the tent until the police arrive and remove them, this won't happen.
Thank the Free Staters that have invaded us and defunded all of the homeless shelters and brought in big corporations. Good ol' Libertarians.
The school system is made to uneducated kids also.... Dumb down society makes it easier to control Make some very dependent on government handouts which is why welfare and drug addicts are so rampant now.... They are just giant children looking for a handout.
Piss-kaw-tok-wah river! 😂😂😂
What happened to us
One word. Communism.
Liberals brother, Liberals happened
@@robg8507 Free Stater Libertarians. That's what happened. Don't spread lies, we're a Republican state.
Agreed
Liberals?? The majority of the state is red that doesn't even make sense....
My land
There is a lot of secrets hidden in these woods here I'm telling ya the things I've come across.
Tell us the story's.
It's pronounced like "conquered", not Concorde, like the SST!
The Merrimack was a sewer still in the 80s
Shoes, and paper. Textiles our number one industry's wow not any more, heroin replaced all of that
I live in New Hampshire. I don't know what this narrator is talking about.
The narrator is talking about when the state was 1) white 2) conservative and 3) culturally homogeneous. People got along with, and trusted, each other better. That was superior to today, where New Hampshire is multi-cultural, anti-white and a cultural zoo. Politicians pit groups against each other inciting discord. The nuclear family that aspired the best for their children has been replaced by single parent and LGBTQ freak show "blended" families producing neurotic children doped up on Ritalin among other things.
He's talking about industry! Paper, wood, textiles, shoes, fish, maple syrup! Thrills!
@@rogerbartlet5720 That's what I'm saying brother.
They said Con-CORD lmao.
My favorite game to play with these era films: find the minority
Very nostalgic, and makes me feel sad. Now everything is so commercialized. I would love to see a sarcastic look at today's NH that highlights Massholes tailgating us while littering, and hordes of drugs being snuck in daily
Now Berlin only has a prison
"one of the most friendly states" LOL

It’s mid now
*BurLIN? Con Chorde? PissCuhTackKwuh?* 😳🙄🤦🙀🤣🤷♂️
I got yelled at from a native Berliner for mispronouncing that lol.
@@coreyskixjewelry Highlander from the notches, family lived in Groveton a while. I guess we're all a might touchy about pronunciation Etc 😅
RUclipsrs today still can't be bothered to check the pronunciation of place names.
BERlin, CONkerd, PisCATaQUA,
This time of year it's BRRlin
Yeah this land is ours spend your money and GET OUT
Goddamn massholes filling up the highways
