In the southeast of the state, developing from a 1722 settlement around Amoskeag Falls on the Merrimack River, New Hampshire’s capital is also its most biggest city, with a population of nearly 113,000 and a high liveability ranking among U.S. cities, and the red-brick textile mills which once powered Manchester’s economy for most of its history are now home to, among other things, restaurants and museums – most notably the Millyard Museum, which covers the region’s earliest history up through the era of the textile mill (of which by the way you can see a scale model built in three million Lego bricks at nearby See Science Center).
