Artifact Overview

The New Hampshire White Mountains have always been a popular tourist destination. The region became accessible to more Americans with the growth of automobile ownership and development of better roads. In the 1910s, auto tourists could access the existing resort hotels or, for a little less money, set up a tent in one of the new campgrounds.
