Nashua (New Hampshire)

An historic 18th-century federal-style home just north of downtown, the home also houses a museum featuring artifacts and furnishings from the 17th and 18th centuries.

Historic Holman Stadium is where racially integrated professional baseball was first played (Nashua Dodgers). Until 2010, the stadium was used by a minor league team (Nashua Defenders, and before that Nashua Pride).

Opened in 1835, this historic burial ground lies at the foot of French Hill at the corner of Canal Street and Lowell Street.

A large, federal-style structure that features a white spire adorned by a large golden eagle and occupies a prominent place in the center of Nashua's historic downtown district, at the corner of Main Street and Hollis Street. Nearby is a monument to the 35th U.S. President, John F. Kennedy, who announced his candidacy for the U.S. Presidency on the front steps of the City Hall.

The Soldiers and Sailors Monument is an American Civil War memorial located in central Nashua within the triangle formed by Concord, Amherst, and Nashville streets. The cornerstone of the large granite monument was laid on May 30, 1889, and the monument dedicated on October 15, 1889.

Greeley Park is a public park occupying 125 acre extending from the Merrimack River, across Concord Street, to Manchester Street. The property was originally bought in 1801 by Joseph Greeley, and the land was later deeded to the city of Nashua in 1896 by his grandson. In 1908, John E. Cotton donated $5000, an amount that was matched by city funds, to construct a stone rest house, a fountain, a shallow pond, a gravel walk, and flower beds, thus converting the farm into a public park. Today the park offers plays, movies and music festivals at the bandstand, and also features hiking trails, horseshoe pits, ball fields, tennis courts, a community gardening section, and a decrepit boat ramp on the Merrimack River.

This park, commonly called "The Jewel of Nashua", has miles of biking, cross-country, and jogging trails that follow the old canal and the Nashua river. It stretches over 325 acres from the western side of Route 3 to the old mills on the edge of downtown. It is not unlikely you will see beavers, otters or muscrat in the canal or river, as well as ducks and other waterfowl. It is a favorite fishing spot for the locals as well. At the western entrance there is a hydroelectric plant next to an old brick gatehouse from which you can see far down the river. On the other side of the plant is a waterfall that is very dramatic in spring after the snow melts. A boat ramp offers access to the west side of the Nashua river that leads to Hollis.
