Rye Town Hall (New Hampshire)

Rye Town Hall is a historic town hall located at 10 Central Road in Rye, New Hampshire. Constructed in 1839 and purchased by the town in 1873, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2020, and the New Hampshire State Register of Historic Places in 2013. History The building was constructed in 1839 to serve as a Methodist church. It filled that role for approximately 30 years, after which it fell into disuse. In 1873, the building was purchased by the town of Rye for $1000, with an additional $2658 spent on renovations. This included adding to the front of the building, along with moving the bell tower forward. At some point, believed to be in the final quarter of the 19th century, the building was raised to add a ground-level story. Further additions to the building were constructed by the town in 1890 and 1911.

Faulkner & Colony Woolen Mill

The Faulkner & Colony Woolen Mill is an historic mill building located at 222 West Street in Keene, New Hampshire. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 2020. The main building was constructed in 1838 and was subsequently expanded in 1859. The mill was named after Francis Faulkner and Josiah Colony, who owned multiple mills along the Ashuelot River. In addition to the main mill building, a former boarding house (built 1810) and a storehouse (built 1859) are included in the NRHP listing. The mill provided material for many uses, including to the U.S. military during the Civil War, World War I, and World War II. Mid-20th century developments in synthetics caused the mill to close in 1954, making it the longest running family-owned textile mill in the country. The property was converted to retail and office space in 1983 and was later converted into residential apartments.

Corbin Park

Corbin Park (also known as the Blue Mountain Forest and Game Preserve) is a private game reserve in New Hampshire. It contains land in Croydon, Cornish, Plainfield, and Grantham. It occupies somewhere between 24,000 and 26,000 acres (97 and 105 km2) of land and was started in 1889 by businessman Austin Corbin. The park is known today for its secrecy. History Austin Corbin founded the park in 1889 by buying up a large number of parcels of land in western New Hampshire. The nonprofit Blue Mountain Association was created in 1891 to manage the park. After Corbin died in 1896, his son Austin Jr. took over management of the Association and the park, and held the role until his own death in 1938. In 1944 ownership of the park was transferred to a group of wealthy hunters. In 1949, the New Hampshire legislature passed a law holding the park responsible for escaped pigs. The park has been subject to multiple lawsuits from the 1950s to the 1990s. In 2020, NH state representative Renny Cushing filed legislation to require a special safari hunting license to take exotic game from the park. It was not passed. Geography Croydon Peak, the highest mountain in Sullivan County at 2,760 feet (840 m) of elevation, is located within the park boundary. It is not accessible to hikers. Croydon Peak is also the location of Sullivan County's only fire tower, but, as the mountain as a whole is inaccessible to the public, the fire tower is also inaccessible to the public. Flora and fauna Corbin Park is home to bison, deer, elk, pheasants, and wild hogs. Some of these animals have been known to escape on several occasions, such as when the 1938 New England hurricane knocked down much of the park fence, or when the gates were left open in 1953 for firefighting purposes. A wild boar that had escaped from Corbin Park was struck and killed on Interstate 89 in Lebanon in 2017. Notable hunters Many famous people have been known to hunt at or otherwise visit the park, including Teddy Roosevelt, Grover Cleveland, Herbert Hoover, Rudyard Kipling, Joe DiMaggio, William Ruger, Sr., and his son, William Junior.

New Hampshire Farm Museum

The New Hampshire Farm Museum is a farm museum on White Mountain Highway (New Hampshire Route 125) in Milton, New Hampshire, United States. Three centuries of New Hampshire rural life are presented in the historic farmhouse. The museum includes a 104-foot-long (32 m) three-story great barn with collection of agricultural machinery, farm tools, sleighs and wagons. There are also live farm animals, a nature trail and a museum shop. The museum is located on the former Plumer-Jones Farm, a traditional series of connected buildings with farmhouse dating to the late 18th century and barns dating to the mid 19th century, which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. Setting The New Hampshire Farm Museum is set on over 60 acres (24 ha) of land between New Hampshire Route 125 to the east, and the Spaulding Turnpike to the west. This land is a subset of land settled in the 1780s by Joseph and Beard Plumer, two of the area's early settlers. The land they worked has been reduced by the construction of the turnpike. Most of the farm property consists of wood lots; about 10 acres (4.0 ha) is open fields, used by the museum as a working demonstration farm. The focal point of the museum is the connected 19th-century farmstead, a series of structures beginning with a small barn near the road, and ending with the Great Barn, one of the largest barns in southeastern New Hampshire. The farmstead includes as one of its intermediate ells the 1782 house of Joseph Plumer, quite possibly one of the first wood-frame structures built in this part of Milton. The main block of the farmstead, located near its center, was built about 1810, and served as a local tavern. The museum also owns the Plummer Homestead adjacent to the south; it was built by Beard Plumer. Features The museum functions as a working demonstration farm. The Great Barn houses three floors of exhibits of farm implements and machinery. The main farmhouse and the Plummer farmhouse are open to guided tours; the sections of the Jones house are each decorated in the style of a different era. Also on the property are a blacksmith's shop, with demonstrations on weekends, and a cider mill barn, which is used as an education venue. Walking trails wind their way through the wood lots at the back of the property. Museum history After its acquisition by the Plumers (later spelled "Plummer") in the 18th century, it was farmed by generations of Joneses and Plummers. The Jones heirs donated more than 300 acres (120 ha) to the University of New Hampshire, and the core of the farmstead to the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests in 1973. It was acquired by the museum as its permanent home in 1979.

Fuller Gardens

Fuller Gardens is a seaside public botanical garden located at 10 Willow Avenue in the town of North Hampton, New Hampshire, United States, in a historic area known as "Little Boars Head". Developed in the early 20th century, the gardens are set on three acres (1.2 ha) and feature formal rose gardens, a Japanese garden, English perennial borders, a tropical and desert conservatory, tulip and annual beds, a hosta garden and a dahlia display area. The gardens are open to the public daily from mid-May through mid-October. The gardens were created as an ornament to the grand summer estate Runnymede-by-the-Sea by businessman and Massachusetts governor Alvan T. Fuller. The original design was by Arthur Shurcliff, who was the architect of record when the estate was built in 1927. Shortly thereafter in 1931, Alvan Fuller contacted Olmstead Brothers to redesign the grounds. The gardens were expanded to include the recent purchase of an adjacent property and was to include formal rose gardens rather than cutting gardens as was included in the Shurtcleff design. The Olmstead design was in the Colonial Revival style and includes many statues and fountains that were collected by Fuller during his travels through Europe. The summer estate was removed in 1962 due to the wishes of Fuller, so that visitors to the gardens could have an unobstructed view of the Atlantic. The Fuller Gardens are now run as a non-profit organization by the Fuller Foundation of New Hampshire. Daily admissions and a large member base help support nearly half of its operating costs. There are many social and horticultural events throughout the season. References External links Official website
General John Stark Memorial Bridge

The General John Stark Memorial Bridge is a bridge that crosses the Connecticut River between Brattleboro, Vermont, and Hinsdale, New Hampshire, in the United States. The bridge, which connects Vermont Route 119 and New Hampshire Route 119, replaces the Anna Hunt Marsh Bridge and the Charles Dana Bridge which formerly connected these routes. The Dana and Marsh bridges will become bicycling and pedestrian paths. The bridge opened for traffic on Thursday, December 5, 2024. History Replacing the Anna Hunt Marsh Bridge (Brattleboro to Hinsdale Island) and the Charles Dana Bridge (Hinsdale Island to mainland Hinsdale) had been under consideration since the 1970s, but due to right of way and funding issues, was delayed until 2017 when state transportation officials released plans for a new structure.

USS Albacore (AGSS-569)

USS Albacore (AGSS-569) byla americká experimentální ponorka z doby studené války. Charakteristická byla kapkovitým tvarem svého trupu, který ji umožňoval plavbu pod hladinou vysokou rychlostí a lepší manévrovatelnost. Podobný hydrodynamicky vhodněji tvarovaný trup pak byl použit i u dalších amerických ponorek. Ponorka byla v roce 1972 vyřazena ze služby a nyní slouží jako muzeum. Poznatky získané z provozu Albacore byly prvně využity u konvenčních stíhacích ponorek třídy Barbel. Stavba Stavba ponorky pro výzkum vysokých rychlostí byla objednána v roce 1950. Kýl člunu byl založen 15. března 1952, trup byl spuštěn na vodu 1. srpna 1953 a ponorka byla dokončena 6. prosince 1953. Během služby přitom byla často upravována. Konstrukce Konstrukce ponorky byla optimalizována pro plavbu vysokou rychlostí. Trup kapkovitého tvaru byl výhodný při plavbě pod hladinou, zatímco na hladině byla ponorka výrazně pomalejší. Vzhledem ke své experimentální povaze člun nenesl žádnou výzbroj. Pohonný systém tvořily dva diesely General Motors a jeden vysoce výkonný elektromotor, roztáčející jeden lodní šroub. Člun pod hladinou dosahoval rychlosti až 33 uzlů. Odkazy Literatura PEJČOCH, Ivo; NOVÁK, Zdeněk; HÁJEK, Tomáš. Válečné lodě 5 – Amerika, Austrálie, Asie od roku 1945. Praha: Naše vojsko, 1994.

Fort William and Mary

Le fort William and Mary était une installation coloniale défensive située à New Castle dans le New Hampshire. La première fortification date de 1632 sur l'île de New Castle à l'embouchure de la rivière Piscataqua, le fort gardait l'accès du port de Portsmouth. Lors de la guerre d'indépendance des États-Unis, le fort fut la cible du premier acte de rébellion du New Hampshire et le premier acte de la révolution aux États-Unis. Le 14 décembre 1774, une foule de quelques centaines d'habitants de la région de Portsmouth, emmené par John Langdon, envahit le fort et s'empara de la poudre qui fut ensuite distribuée à diverses milices des localités du New Hampshire. En 1808, il fut rebaptisé fort Constitution.
