Welcome to Merrimack Valley

Having New Hampshire’s three largest cities - Manchester, Nashua and Concord - all in one region has its benefits: the cultural opportunities are endless! In Manchester, the state’s largest city, take the self-guided Franco-American Heritage Tour to see and taste how the French influenced the city in more ways than one. Make a point to stop at the John F. Kennedy memorial in Nashua, marking the spot where the former United States president made his first campaign speech during the 1960 election. In the state capital of Concord, be dazzled when you take in a Broadway show at the Capitol Center for the Arts or keep your eyes on the stars at the McAuliffe-Shepard Discovery Center for air and space. There’s so much to do in Merrimack Valley, you won’t know where to start!
