Radio stations in New Hampshire

WPNH-FM (100.1 MHz) is a commercial radio station located in Plymouth, New Hampshire. The station identifies itself as "100.1 The Planet" and airs active rock peppered with alternative rock and, more recently, classic rock. The station primarily covers the western Lakes Region and southern White Mountains area, though it can be heard as far south as Manchester and as far west as Barre, Vermont. WPNH-FM originally transmitted from a hilltop in nearby Holderness until the late 1990s when the station's transmitter was moved to the top of Tenney Mountain in Plymouth by new owners. In January 2013, soon after another rock station in the area was purchased by new owners who immediately stopped broadcasting the show, WPNH-FM became the Central New Hampshire affiliate for The Free Beer and Hot Wings Show. It replaced the station's previous morning show, the locally produced "Daily Planet" hosted by then-music director Annie Biello and newswoman Amy Bates. On December 29, 2014, shortly after hiring a new music director, the station began incorporating classic rock into its programming while eliminating most of its classic alternative catalog. The station now primarily broadcasts Westwood One's Rock 2.0 music service, peppering in locally selected music on featured shows like Local Outbreak, Out Of The Box and Punch Out.WPNH-FM's sister stations are WFTN and WFTN-FM in Franklin, WSCY in Moultonborough, and WPNH in Plymouth. The station does not stream its signal over the internet.

Polar Caves Park

Polar Caves Park is a set of glacially-formed caves located in New Hampshire's White Mountains region, in the United States. The caves were formed during the last ice age from granite boulders and are so named because the deepest cave is cold enough to allow snow to linger long into the summer. The caves are a popular tourist destination. The park contains nine granite boulder caves connected by a series of boardwalks, a giant boulder maze, an animal park with European fallow deer and ducks, and a mining game for children. The caves are lit, well-marked and relatively easy to traverse using walkways and stairs. They are naturally cool during the summer. The caves were first discovered by Bernard A. Campbell, a student at Plymouth High School. Campbell was exploring the area with a group of friends in the summer of 1922 when they came across what appeared to be a small cave, and upon further exploration, they discovered a network of caves hidden beneath the forested area. Campbell recognized the potential of the caves as a tourist attraction and shared his discovery with his science teacher, Henry Minot. Minot was impressed with the caves and contacted Arthur B. Thatcher, a local businessman, to share the discovery with him. Thatcher recognized the potential of the caves and soon purchased the land where the caves were located. Thatcher then began developing the Polar Caves into a tourist attraction, clearing the forest and creating safe pathways for visitors to explore the caves. The first Polar Caves tour was conducted in 1923, and it quickly became a popular destination for tourists visiting the area. Today, the Polar Caves remain a popular tourist attraction in New Hampshire, attracting visitors from all over the world who come to explore the unique geological formations and learn about the history of the area. Polar Caves are located in the town of Rumney, along New Hampshire Route 25, approximately 5 miles (8 km) west of Interstate 93 in Plymouth.
