Not just a New York thing as plenty of New Englanders move to southern climes in their sunset years, but not Mrs August and I, we like the winter.
Best place to be on Patriots day IMO is at Concord Bridge. If you're real hard core you can start the day at nearby Lexington Green at the crack of dawn to see the reenactment of the Shot Heard Round the World then head over to the bridge afterwards for the reenactment of the main battle.
As for taxes remember that New Hampshire doesn't have an income tax so they make up for it with huge property taxes. North of 2% I believe. Conversely my 100 acres up in Maine costs me less than $500 per year which is like .005% or something.
