Old Landing Road
This was the roadway from the ancient landing
on Hampton River taken on October 14, 1638, by
Rev. Stephen Bachiler and his small band of
followers, when they made the first settlement
of Hampton, originally named Winnacunnet
Plantation. For the next 160 years this area
was the center of the town's activity. During
that period and into the town's third century,
Landing Road provided access for fishing,
salt-marsh haying, mercantile importing and
exporting, and transportation needs of a
prospering community.
