Singer Tom Rush's song "Merrimack County" is one. Noted author Calder
Willingham lived for many years in New Hampton until his death in 1995. I
haven't read all of his work, but I seem to recall seeing one or two NH
references buried in there someplace.
As for film, how about that old 3 Stooges short where Curly tells Moe he was
born in "Lake Winnipesaukee"?
