Hampshire’s County Hospital was founded in 1736 by Alured Clarke, in Colebrook Street in what had been a house belonging to the nuns of St Mary’s Abbey. The Hospital moved in 1759 to a new building in Parchment Street, designed at least in part by John Woods the younger. There it stayed for almost a century, during which time its medical staff gained recognition as skilled physicians and surgeons. By the time Jane Austen came to be treated during her final illness it already had a considerable reputation as a teaching hospital.

New Hampshire history is uniquely on display along the highways of the Granite State. The New Hampshire roadside historical markers commemorate significant events and individuals from the first settlers arriving in 1623 to notable individuals who helped define what New Hampshire is today. New Hampshire played a major role in the birth of our nation. From Revolutionary battlefields to individuals of political influence, the Granite State has made an indelible mark on history. This book explores the 255 New Hampshire historical markers that dot the state highways and roads. Each marker is described with its location (to include GPS coordinates), date installed, marker inscription, and expanded historical references of this event/individual. Information may also be provided about other points of interest in the vicinity of the historical marker.
