It was an epic day in New Hampshire for the history books. On April 8, hundreds of thousands of locals and visitors headed north to see a total solar eclipse. The totality band's southern most point was Lancaster, extending north all the way to Pittsburg and then Canada.
Many people also visited favorite Forest Society properties across the state to see the eclipse, including Mt. Major and Morse Preserve, despite the fact that they were too far south to see totality. Here are a few photos that staff shared.
Anna Berry ventured to Lancaster and noted that she saw 14 out-of-state license plates on the three-hour drive. She was happy to experience around 40 seconds of totality despite the very heavy traffic on the return trip.
Frank Allen hiked on snowy trails to reach the summit of Pine Mountain, on the Forest Society's Morse Preserve in Alton, to watch the eclipse.
Naomi Bratloff experienced the eclipse from The Rocks in Bethlehem, where many out-of-state visitors had gathered.
