New Hampshire is paying tribute to the Old Man of the Mountain, a 40-foot-tall natural rock formation that collapsed 20 years ago, with new geological research, poetry, a song, and a scavenger hunt. The Old Man was created by a series of geological events going back millions of years, and was a symbol of the state's independence. Efforts to save the Old Man and 6,000-acre Franconia Notch began in the 1920s, and it became the state's most recognizable symbol.
