The state of New Hampshire has a very handy website. It's loaded with information, all of it free! As the tabs across the top show, the website is divided into four categories: visitors, residents, business and government. Information is frequently referenced in more than one category,so it's hard to miss something important. The toolbar on the left-hand side also links you to important features such as Laws and Rules, Just for Kids, and especially useful at this time of year, ShopNH.

The state website has answers to a number of frequently asked questions. If you want to know who represents your town to the state legislature in Concord and how that person has been voting, take a look at Who's my Legislator?. Select your town by clicking on the map or using the dropdown menu. That will bring up a list of your representatives and your senator. Select a name, and you are connected with the contact information for this person as well as committee memberships, bills sponsored, voting record and personal webpage, if there is one.

Community profiles are also available on the state website. These profiles provide very complete information about each town drawn from a number of sources. Information about town services, demographics, property taxes, employment and wages, housing and largest employers can be found here.

The Visitors tab will connect you to the New Hampshire Events Catalog where you can search for events by date, region or town. The Things to do tab at the top of that page will connect you to attractions, dining, lodging and other must-know information for a wonderful vacation.

Business and tax information are available here as well as forms for New Hampshire taxes. The New Hampshire Almanac is an excellent resource for students and anyone else needing New Hampshire facts. Here you can find all of the state symbols as well as census data and information on the first-in-the-nation primary. This is a must-see website for anyone living in, working in, or visiting New Hampshire!
