  • New Hampshire's economy is comparatively strong these days, but that strength varies depending on where you are in the small state.

  • Actors in period garb are the usual denizens of the Strawbery Banke Museum campus in Portsmouth, N.H., which spans 250 years of history. To make ends meet, the museum has lured more modern dwellers.
