The Old Man Wobbles

COMMENT

When the Old Man of the Mountain rock formation finally surrendered to centuries of erosion and fell off a ledge in New Hampshire's Franconia Notch on May 3, 2003, natives and tourists alike felt they had lost a dear friend. The Old Man will not be reconstructed -- as some people had wished -- but now you can bring the Old Man wobbling into your home.

The New Hampshire Historical Society has seized on the popularity of bobblehead figures and begun issuing limited-edition bobbleheads of notable New Hampshire men and women -- and one geological formation.

The John Stark bobblehead has sold out, but the society still has Daniel Webster (at left), the newly released Sarah Josepha Hale (the "Mother of Thanksgiving"), and -- bound to be its best seller -- the Old Man of the Mountain. To order, call 603-856-0625 or visit nhhistory.org.
