This 1947 episode of This Land of Ours, produced by Carl Dudley, takes viewers on a tour of the New England state of New Hampshire. The episode opens with shots of New Hampshire’s rivers, covered bridges, small towns, and the birthplace of famed orator Daniel Webster (01:04). At a granite quarry (01:11), a crane lifts a slab of granite. In the forest, two men saw down a tree. Lumber is hauled to Berlin (01:52), located on the Androscoggin River, where it is made into pulp and paper. The episode shows viewers some of the state’s other industries. Textiles are manufactured in Manchester on the Merrimack River (02:25). Men and women make shoes (02:55). Concord is home to New Hampshire’s Capitol Building (03:05). At Portsmouth harbor, fishermen box their catch. A teacher reads to small children. The episode shows the University of New Hampshire at Durham (04:02) and Dartmouth College. There are scenes of rural New Hampshire, such as rolling fields, young women petting a resting cow, and two people boxing just-picked strawberries. People collect maple syrup from tapped trees (05:08). Other highlights of the state include the majestic Mount Washington Hotel (05:28), Cannon Mountain’s aerial tramway with its views of White Mountain National Forest (05:52), Old Man of the Mountains, a cog railway that takes visitors up Mount Washington. Boats sail on a lake, and people sunbath on a sandy beach. During winter, people race ice boats (07:07) and ski jump. The episode concludes with a montage of shots of the state’s village greens and meeting houses, maple trees, textile mills, New Hampshire State House, and scenes from the countryside.

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.
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!
Native here, yeah, spent a lot of time in Dummer.
They’re not all gone. There’s one not far from my house.
@@amyslingsby6947 What town is it in?
@@amyslingsby6947 You native, NH, Amy?
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
New Hampshire is still a beautiful place. I love it there.
God bless New Hampshire
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 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!
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
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
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.
My home I will always love this place.
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
As someone whos lived here all my life, this is so interesting
Seeing the front of the capital building was so trippy. I've gone by that area so many times.
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.
It’s so different seeing old videos vs seeing an old video of a place you know!!
RIP The Old Man.
Living in pennacook. Cool to know some history. Love it
6:07 dude just chilling on top of the tram
YO WTF
Thanks for uploading this gem!!
Excellent video - thanks!
You are welcome!
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.
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
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
Everyone from NH collectively throwing up when he says "concord" 😂 (not to mention piscataqua)
Awesome tour and information of my home state
All those people just being happy without a cellphone in site
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.
I live in New Hampshire and it is beautiful as ever!
Love this state, some has changed, but not that much
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.
I grew up in Litchfield.
Same bro!
@Periscope Film Please change the title of this, it is a tour of NH, not a tour of Concord.
Unfortunately never had the chance to see this part of our beautiful country.
Just left Colebrook NH.
Really not much up there, but the locals seem to like it.
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!
Damn my hometown got a shout out I didn't expect that
New Hampshire is so beautiful definitely a must go for the trees 😍😌
There's trees everywhere. NH is the freest state in the country.
I wasn't here in NH back in 1947, but these days we pronounce Piscataqua, Berlin and Concord differently than this narrator did.
Born and raised in Concord, now settled in Canterbury. Geeze, want to correct the narrator with pronunciation.
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.
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.
Live free or Die. Words to behold
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.
I love my state
Live Free or Die!
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
How can you hate living here? You live in the Manchester slums or something? Or maybe Rochester, then I could understand.
I would love to see the MST3K gang riff on this!
That would be funny!
Wow ! All of about 15 seconds about Concord. Why not call it a tour of New Hampshire?
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.
was there even a signle second of this recorded in Concord? the title seems very wrong
I would like to purchase this video in CD format for my historical society. How would I go about doing this.
Epping N.H here ..the center of nowhere
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???
Damn my state was fye back in the day?
The paper mill used to be huge until another country bought it out and close it down.
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.
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.
I often joke about the state being famous only for covered bridges and what else is the establishing shot but a covered bridge!
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 memory of Berlin my memory of Berlin was a smell of paper products being made
♥️ Live Free or Die ♥️
Anyone know the reason there was a man standing atop the air tram?
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."
I live in concord
"..nature's finest snow."🤔
Piss-kaw-tok-wah river! 😂😂😂
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.
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
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
My land
It's pronounced like "conquered", not Concorde, like the SST!
They said Con-CORD lmao.
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.
"one of the most friendly states" LOL
My favorite game to play with these era films: find the minority
Now Berlin only has a prison
*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 😅
UA-camrs today still can't be bothered to check the pronunciation of place names.
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”
It’s mid now
Yeah this land is ours spend your money and GET OUT
Goddamn massholes filling up the highways
Maple Syrup the life blood of New Hampshire!
BERlin, CONkerd, PisCATaQUA,
This time of year it's BRRlin
