Old Man of The Mountain
New Hampshire's official state emblem is the world-famous "Old Man of the Mountain" - adopted in 1945 (along with the New Hampshire state motto: "Live Free or Die") as World war II approached its end.
The Old Man of the Mountain appears on the New Hampshire quarter and is also the title of one of New Hampshire's state songs. Sadly, the old man fell off the mountain on May 3, 2003 (in Franconia Notch State Park, NH).
