Weare, New Hampshire
In the
1750's the first settler built a cabin "small and low" in the Piscataquog
Valley. Other settlers followed. They built houses, cleared and farmed he
land, and harnessed the rivers for industry. Over the 18th and 19th
centuries a unique town, including churches, schools, a library, and
several buildings for Grange meetings, grew up around five major villages:
Weare Center, North Weare, South Weare, East Weare, and Oil Mill
(Riverdale).
