Mormon Population
Mormons make up 0.70% of the population of Concord. The state of New Hampshire has 8,231 members in three stakes, 16 wards, five branches, and one mission.
LDS History
Orson Pratt and Lyman E. Johnson were the first Latter-day Saints to visit New Hampshire. They preached in Bath in the northwestern part of the state in the spring of 1832, baptizing 15 — among them future apostle Amasa M. Lyman — and organized New Hampshire’s first branch. In January 1928, New Hampshire was transferred to the Canadian Mission and then in October 1937 became part of the newly established New England Mission. Three years later, the six elders and two sister missionaries assigned to New Hampshire were working in the state’s two largest cities, Manchester and Nashua, as well as the smaller town of Keene, and reported there were 43 members of the Church in the state.
Family Friendliness
Concord’s historic Main Street area is home to various sites of cultural significance, including Railroad Square, the Eagle hotel, which hosted such notable guests as Eleanor Roosevelt and Richard Nixon, The Pierce Manse, former home of President Franklin Pierce, and the State House, the oldest state capitol in which the legislature meets in its original chambers. Far more than the sum of its history, Concord boasts a popular planetarium, plentiful performing arts and an international speedway.
