HR 22 New Hampshire House · 2026 Regular Session

to name a certain peak after Alan Shepard.

This resolution proposes renaming a specific peak in Bethlehem, New Hampshire (coordinates 44°13'22" N; 71°33'42" W) to "Mount Shepard" in honor of Alan Shepard, a New Hampshire native and the first American in space. The resolution cites Shepard's achievements as a NASA astronaut, moonwalker, and naval officer, noting his connection to the state. It does not create new laws or affect policy, but formally changes the peak's official name to commemorate Shepard's legacy. The resolution was introduced by multiple state legislators and referred to the Resources committee.
