The interior decor is very rustic and laid back with only a few tables available and about the same number outside on a patio. Most of their business especially on the weekend is takeaway.
Rita fell in love with the casual ambiance and country music playing on the loudspeakers.
The menu is on a large blackboard and you place your order at the counter.
I was disappointed that they did not have Texas style beef ribs but I ordered a rack of their St. Louis Ribs. Rita ordered brisket and we got a variety of sides.
The ribs were a little too dry for my liking but with the very good barbecue sauce they were good. The brisket was moist but not as moist as I have had in Texas. The beans, corn bred and mashed potatoes were all excellent, but the mac and cheese was gummy and not to my liking.
If you hail from Texas, St. Louis or Memphis this may be a disappointment but for New Hampshire it is a good change of pace.
The Old Man of the Mountain in Franconia, New Hampshire was the iconic symbol of New Hampshire for decades. It was heartbreaking when it collapsed in the early morning of May 3, 2003.
The Old Man Profiler Plaza is a tasteful memorial to the great granite face without being tacky of overly sentimental.

The memorial is adjacent to the Cannon Mountain Aerial Tramway and there is ample parking at the gift shop / museum entrance to the plaza. A long paved path winds it way to the viewing area. If you are handicapped or a slow walker there is a much closer parking area just follow the signage.
When you are in the plaza find the profile post that matches your height and stand on the feet that are inlaid on the stone patio. You will see a silhouette of the Old Man as he was before the collapse.
This was the first school in the town of Danville. There is another one room schoolhouse in Danville The Little Red Schoolhouse located on Main Street.
This is Alex and I’m writing my first post for our family’s website. let me tell you this was worth it. I am 10 years old and i want to tell you about my summer camp with Adventurelore.
It all started off as a get together at the Adventurelore headquarters. We shared our interests in a game and then we headed off onto the bus. We set up camp after a beautiful trip on the bus. When we arrived it was all just woods but we filled it up with tents.
On the first day it was raining so we hiked trough a long dark tunnel to a waterfall, we splashed and had a great time at the waterfall but it was very cold.
We went back to camp and had hamburgers for dinner cooked on a grill.
On day two after eating disgusting pancakes (Yuck) we headed to the mountains for a hike. The hike was with a group of older kids and we hiked up Artist’s Bluff and saw where The Old Man of the Mountain used to be before it collapsed.
After the waterpark we stopped at a school where we played capture the flag with a beautiful sunset in the background of the field. We ate pizza and went back to camp. The last day we just went into town and bought some gifts and snacks.
The trip was great fun and if you are ready for adventure than Adventurelore is the place for you.
Here I am relaxing watching TV after the trip with the “little hands” I bought at the gift shop.
Milestone markers were carved blocks of granite with distances to key locations inscribed into the surface. This is the site of the marker in what was once part of Chester, New Hampshire but is now in Hooksett.
Pictured below is an example of what the marker may have looked like.
