  • The first to vote in the New Hampshire primaries
    Paris (historical), United States. The Balsams is one of the historic grand hotels built in the countryside in the 19th century to cater to vacationing urban patrons of that era. Located in Dixville Notch, this is the northernmost of three of this type and scale of hotel built in New Hampshire that have survived fires, oversize maintenance costs, and their relatively remote locations, so far. The hotel has been closed since 2011, after being purchased for $2.3 million. Developers are seeking to tie it in with the expansion of nearby ski resort. In the meantime, the Ballot Room at the resort remains as the place where, every four years, local residents meet at midnight to be the first district to cast their votes in the New Hampshire primaries, quickly counting and announcing their results to the nation.
