If you Miss the Old Man of the Mountain The iconic image of the Old Man of the Mountain is something I will never forget about when I first moved to New Hampshire. I kept seeing his profile on all the road signs on the highway driving up from the south and wondered who’s profile it was. After about 200 miles I decided it must be Abraham Lincoln. I think my introduction to New Hampshire was my googling it and discovering it has a homage to the bolder shaped like an old man. My Adventure So excited at finding out about this historic landmark, I went in search of it. Not picking up on my research that it had actually fallen off the mountain, according to NHmagazine.com, on May 3, 2003, you can imagine my disappointment while hiking and discovering that it was no more.
