Governor Wentworth Historic Site Details

This was once the site of a large plantation property that was used by John Wentworth, the British colonial governor of New Hampshire. The home was built in the late 1700s, although it, unfortunately, burned to the ground in the early 1800s. Although not much besides a couple of stones and bricks remain, this 96-acre archeological site is still a fascinating insight into early American history. There is a small plaque commemorating Wentworths achievements, as well as an information board detailing the history of the plantation.
