OLD MAN OF THE MOUNTAINS
"Men hang out their signs indicative of their respective trades. Shoemakers hang a gigantic shoe; jewelers a monster watch; even the dentist hangs out a gold tooth; but up in the Franconia Mountains God Almighty has hung out a sign to show that in New England he makes men." --- Daniel Webster. Society for Protection of New Hampshire Forests

The Flume Reservation in Franconia Notch
Lost River Reservation in Kinsman Notch
C.T. Bodwell, Director

Lost River Reservation
Franconia, New Hampshire

Here are a few words about The Old Man In The Mountains:


"The Profile was a natural rock formation that was formed by a series of geologic happenings that began an estimated 200 million years ago. Hovering majestically 1,200 feet above Profile Lake, the Old Man was made of five separate granite ledges arranged horizontally to form a man's profile. From chin to forehead, the Profile measured about 40 feet and was 25 feet wide."

"Look north a short distance from where the Profile was to see a natural rock formation silhouetted against the skyline resembling the barrel of a cannon poking out from the parapet of a fortress. The shape of this rock formation gives Cannon Mountain its name."

"The Old Man of the Mountain has been the State Symbol for New Hampshire and was chosen as representation for the New Hampshire Quarter."

"Old Man of the Mountain Collapses
(Release Date: May 3, 2003)
(Concord, N.H.) The Old Man of the Mountain, the enduring symbol of the State of New Hampshire, is no more. Some time between Friday evening and Saturday morning, the stone profile that draws hundreds of thousands of visitors to Franconia Notch State Park each year collapsed. On Saturday, May 3 at approximately 7:30 a.m., two Franconia Notch State Park employees noticed that the Old Man of the Mountain had collapsed. At this time it appears as though the forehead and the nose are missing."

"The citizens of New Hampshire are mourning the loss of this familiar icon and appreciate the many expressions of condolence that have been pouring in to the New Hampshire Division of Parks and Recreation."

When you open the brochure there are images of FLUME GORGE, FRANCONIA NOTCH and SENTINAL PINE BRIDGE AT THE POOL. Open the next two panels and you find images of PARADISE FALLS, LOST RIVER and GIANT POTHOLE, LOST RIVER. There are also two pages of information on the sites and other sorrounding sites. Fully opened the brochure measures 15-7/8" x 8-1/8". It is in mint condition.
