With the collapse of the Old Man of the Mountain on May 3, 2003, New Hampshire lost a beloved icon. Since that day, friends of the Old Man from throughout the Granite State and beyond have continued to celebrate the strength and spirit of the Profile. The Old Man of the Mountain Legacy Fund, with the support of hundreds of people, has created the Profile Plaza in Franconia Notch as a lasting monument to honor the Old Man. The Legacy Fund will complete the Plaza and turn it over to the State of New Hampshire in 2014.

Preserve the Legacy

Today, there are many ways in which the legacy of the Old Man of the Mountain is being preserved.

Donate to the Memorial Park - Profile Plaza. The Memorial Plaza in Franconia Notch State Park is along Profile Lake. This Memorial Plaza is paid for through private donations as no State funding has been given to this effort. Make your donation or buy a paver and help preserve the legacy of the Old Man of the Mountain for future generations.

Host and Educational Seminar.   Members of the Board of Directors of the Old Man Legacy Fund are available for public speaking and would love a chance to give a seminar on the history and legacy of the Old Man of the Mountain to your civic group, community, or even your work place.

Nominate a person or community to receive a Profile Award.   The Profile Awards were created after the fall of the Old Man of the Mountain in 2003 to recognize an individual, an organization, and a municipality embodying the strength of character of the Old Man. Recipients are chosen based on their contributions to the state in preserving New Hampshire’s heritage, culture, resources, traditions, and history.
