New Hampshire is full of natural resources, so it's no surprise that the state is filled with old mines. However, most of the time, you can't access these tunnels that go deep beneath some of New Hampshire's most beautiful mountains. Check out this unique tunnel in New Hampshire.
The Paddock Mine in Lyman was an operational copper mine. However, today the eerie tunnel is most important as a critical habitat for bats!

If you don't mind the furry mammals and you're very brave, you can venture into the mine. Watch the video below to see what's in store in this unique tunnel.
We may not always see them but we share the natural environment that we live in with a multitude of animals. I would say that we are definitely guests in their home whenever we venture into New Hampshire's forests. Usually, human/animal encounters are rare as the animals tend to keep their distance from us. But if you want to experience some friendly creatures up close, pay a visit to The Friendly Farm in Dublin. It's one New Hampshire animal ranch where the local residents will welcome you warmly.

The Friendly Farm in Dublin is a place where humans can mingle with farm animals in their natural and relaxed environment.
As you wander the farm's five acres, you'll meet some of the most agreeable animals up close and personal.
From newly hatched chicks you can hold in the palm of your hand to affable sheep and horses, The Friendly Farm has an assortment of animals you'd expect to find here.
Many of the farm's residents have been born right here and if you are fortunate enough, you may be able to witness the miracle of birth.
Visit the pig pen to say hi to its residents and, if you time it right, enjoy seeing the baby piglets as they begin their life at The Friendly Farm.

At The Friendly Farm, kids can become a Junior Farmer and receive a certificate, special recognition, free admission, and more.
The Friendly Farm welcomes group events, including school outings, birthday parties, or any other event where you can gather 15 or more people together.
And with that, I hope you will start planning your visit to this fun and exciting New Hampshire animal ranch to spend some time with the animals. For more information, visit The Friendly Farm and be sure to also follow The Friendly Farm on Facebook for updates.
