Historic Background Research

description: The New Boston Air Force Station (NBAFS) Archaeological District is a time capsule of New Hampshire and New England history. The 2,826-acre District contains a diverse and wide-ranging array of archaeological sites and structures representative of human occupation of the region beginning with the Archaic Period (10,000-3,000 B.P.) and ending with the use of the land as a bombing range during World War II and the early Cold War periods of U.S. history. The district is like no other archaeological district in the region because of its size, quality of preservation, and association with important events and periods in local, state, and regional history. Contained within the district and making it a cohesive unit are significant cultural properties associated with the early settlement, agriculture, and industry, as well as prehistoric/historic archaeology, architecture, engineering, transportation, education, and social and military history. As a result, the district has great potential to provide important contextual information and knowledge about various topics of New Hampshire history. The district will make significant contribution to the understanding of New Hampshire prehistory, early settlement and land use patterns, agricultural history, rural farmstead development and architecture, early industrial history of Hillsborough County, material culture and trade in rural farmsteads communities, engineering and transportation history, New Hampshire’s World War II and Cold War military history, and in areas of New Hampshire social history topics, such as the Underground Railroad and the Abolition Movement.
