Once Amazing Tourist Destinations That Have Been Lost to History

The Old Man of the Mountain, also known as the Great Stone Face and The Profile, used to be a series of granite stones jutting out of Cannon Mountain in New Hampshire. The Abenaki and the Mohawk people both considered it to be an important symbol in their culture.

But if you haven’t seen this striking sight, the chance has tragically passed into history. Despite many attempts over the years to help secure the formation, it collapsed on May 3, 2003. Although gone, the Old Man of the Mountain has not been forgotten and still remains an iconic symbol in New Hampshire.
