About the Balsams
Located high in New Hampshire’s White Mountains and deep in the Great North Woods, The Balsams Grand Resort is rich with New Hampshire history. In 1960 Dixville Notch became the “First in the Nation” to report its results of the Presidential election. The Ballot Room at The Balsams is where the town’s first-in-the-nation voters cast their ballots at midnight on election day. This historic room is filled with photographs and displays of the dignitaries and candidates who have visited the Balsams since 1960.
