Often over-shadowed by the state s popular tourist centers of the White Mountains and Lake Winnipesaukee, New Hampshire s cities don t get as much attention. But they are filled with attractions and things to do, making them perfect destinations for relaxing weekend getaways.
To those from large metropolitan areas, New Hampshire s cities may seem like towns - and in fact, several of them are. Throughout most of New England, the distinction between towns and cities is based on their form of government, not their size or population. So some of the cities in this list are technically towns, but you wouldn t know it from their busy Main Street or abundance of things to do there.

Birthplace of Daniel Webster in Franklin. Photo/Richard Feren
There are so many varied and interesting markers in the Lakes Region that I am going to divide this section into two columns.
We started, with some difficulty, in Franklin. Our goal was to see the birthplace of Daniel Webster. We had been there with our children more than 40 years ago and thought we knew where we were going. At one point we stopped to confirm our directions with a workman on the side of the road. He said he had driven by the birthplace many times but couldn’t tell us exactly where to go.
