New Hampshire Jump$tart Coalition
The Granite State's affiliate of the national Jump$tart Coalition is dedicated to advancing the financial literacy of children. Some features of this useful site include a clearinghouse of personal finance education resources and a contingent of volunteer professionals, from the financial services industry, willing to speak to students on various aspects of this topic. Kids can sign up to test their consumer savvy in state and national competitions or answer a “reality check” questionnaire that shows them how much it costs to maintain their desired standard of living, what types of jobs pay enough to support such a standard, and what levels of education are needed to attain them.

The Millyard Museum (Manchester, NH)
The Manchester Historic Association's Millyard Museum captures over 11,000 years of Amoskeag Falls history with its “Woven in Time” exhibit. The exhibit spans from the first Native American inhabitants to the thousands of workers—many of them immigrants—whose unified labor once made the Amoskeag Manufacturing Company the largest producer of cotton textiles in the world, and concludes with the current revitalization of the millyard with a stream of new immigrants and industries.
