Restorative Granite State

The Hopkinton (N.H.) State Fair, held every year in early September

β€œThe restoration comes not only from the landscape and air, though they play their significant part, but from the people. I feel a strong need to be in New Hampshire for as much of the summer as I can manage it.’’

β€” Retired U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice David Souter (born 1939). He served on the high court from 1990 to 2009, when he moved back to his native New Hampshire, where he lives in the small town of Hopkinton.
