Plymouth, NH - Wikipedia Entries on Waymarking.com

Plymouth, NH, a small town of 6900 people and named after the colony in today's Massachusetts, is centrally located in the state of New Hampshire along a main road to the White Mountains, and home to Plymouth State College.

Plymouth is an exit along I-93, and is also connected via U.S. 3. The Pemigewasset River, a major source making up the Merrimack River, also runs through it.

The town has a defined downtown section - the waymark is located near the old courthouse, which is now the town hall. Plymouth State University is located uphill.

The town was incorporated in 1763. The following text is from the article on Wikipedia:

"In 1806, then-lawyer Daniel Webster lost his first criminal case at the Plymouth courthouse, which now houses the Historical Society.[3] The author Nathaniel Hawthorne, while on vacation in 1864 with former U.S. President Franklin Pierce, died in Plymouth at the second Pemigewasset House, which was later destroyed by fire in 1909. In the early 20th century, the Draper and Maynard Sporting Goods Company (D&M) sold products directly to the Boston Red Sox, and players such as Babe Ruth would regularly visit to pick out their equipment. The Plymouth Normal School was founded in 1871 out of the already existing Holmes Plymouth Academy, becoming the state's first teachers' college. It would later evolve into Plymouth Teachers' College in 1939, Plymouth State College in 1963, and finally Plymouth State University in 2003."
