Well, here in Goffstown we have our patron
poet, Moses Gage Shirley (early 20th), who
necessarily ended up writing about the town and
other places in NH.
The only other thing that comes to mind that
other people haven't mentioned is that the new
horror movie, The Haunting, is scripted to take
place somewhere in southern NH. It was actually
filmed somewhere in Britain, though. A superb
film, I must say, extremely well crafted.
