New Hampshire’s history with the church is centuries old. The first settlers in New Hampshire were The Puritans, religious settlers from England. As settlers moved throughout New England and into the New Hampshire wilderness, churches were one of the first buildings constructed in each new settlement. Centuries later, New Hampshire is littered with churches large and small that are simply stunning.
