The Indian Head is set to succeed the Old Man of the Mountain as NH's premier celebrity rock formation.The Indian Head is pretty cool looking, I will say. My family had a second home in the White Mountains when my sisters and I were growing up, and we loved going to the Indian Head Resort for breakfast and to poke around their gift shop. They have all sorts of cool, kitchy NH memorabilia.
At this point looks like Indian Head's only real competition is America's Stonehenge in Salem, NH, but if Indian Head can get a makeover suitable for license plates (that headdress could use a trim) he may very well leave America's Stonehenge out to dry. The Old Man is a tough act to follow, however - he is positively beloved by New Hampshire-ites. Indian Head better get a good publicist if he's going to pull this off, show up at some Old Man restoration fundraisers and such, and definitely no trash talking the OM!
He also needs to emphasize his strengths, such as being the impetus for a working resort and gift shop that creates jobs for NH. And the fact that you can actually hike up to him and walk around on his forehead - you couldn't get near the Old Man unless you were part of his special preservation crew, and even they couldn't hang out with him that much since he was so fragile. An interactive rock formation that brings jobs to the state- now there's a strong platform! Good luck Indian Head!

I wonder if you could explain some of the good points of NH's stonehenge, or are you a straight ticket voter?
thats sustaiunable landscape architecture. kind of
Well, NH's Stonehenge is gender-neutral and less likely to be a polarizing figure in the elections. However, it would not make a good image on mugs, patches, buttons and other comemorative bric-a-brac, and its somewhat pagan origins might be a bit off-putting to voters as a symbol of NH. I think Indian Head's got this one in the bag!
