"Remembering New Hampshire's Old Man of the Mountain, 20 Years Later"
The collapse of New Hampshire's Old Man of the Mountain, a rock formation resembling a human face, 20 years ago has not diminished its hold on the state's residents. The loss of the beloved symbol of Granite Staters' hardiness and grit is mourned like a fallen president, with songs, poems, and a virtual remembrance event. The Old Man's memory is kept alive by the Old Man of the Mountain Legacy Fund, which hosted the event and is planning ongoing events throughout the year. Visitors to the memorial plaza can try to recapture a glimpse of the Old Man using devices known as "profilers," and a museum in Plymouth, N.H., will host a summer-long exhibit starring the stone face.
